Healthy Last Minute Stocking Stuffers

The clock is ticking and time is running out for buying holiday gifts for your loved ones. One of the things often left to the last minute is getting the smaller treats to fill their holiday stockings. And, when you are feeling rushed it's easy to go for the easy stuff like candy and little doodads you may regret later.

We have gathered some of our favorite ideas for gifts that are useful and healthy to give you a head start. Of course, our first suggestions are related to healthy smiles (one of our favorite things).

• Tooth brushes
• Lip balm (SPF would be a bonus)
• Dental floss
• Whitening tooth paste
• Tongue cleaners
• Sugarless gum
• Tooth fairy boxes
• Funny fake teeth or other joke gifts
• Baby tooth brushes and gum massagers
• Books and coloring books about brushing, flossing or visiting the dentist
