With the holiday season quickly approaching, it’s time to get out the wishlists and begin preparing to buy, make, or plan the perfect gifts for your family. But instead of a new phone, bike, or video game, have you considered giving the gift of a healthy smile this year?
Okay, a new toothbrush doesn’t sound as exciting as a new laptop or the hottest toy, but it can still actually make a pretty great gift! There are plenty of ways to make oral health routines more fun and exciting for any age group—and these ideas for dental-related gifts can do just that! Technology is pretty awesome nowadays, so check out some options for your loved ones below:
Electric Toothbrushes
A regular old toothbrush will certainly get the job of cleaning teeth done, but electric toothbrushes definitely go the extra mile in cavity prevention. Electric toothbrushes help you get more coverage in your brushing routine, ensuring fewer missed spots. Some even have smart features, like brushing timers and pressure sensors to ensure that day in and day out you’re giving your teeth the very best care.
Water Flossers
Everyone In your family flosses…right? We know it isn’t many people’s preferred activity, but we can’t stress enough how important it is. For those who can’t stand dental floss, water flossers are a great alternative. They’re more fun and exciting, using a stream of water to do the same job: clean the hard-to-reach crevices of the teeth to prevent cavities and promote good oral health.
Travel Dental Kits
There’s really no excuse to skip your oral health routine—even when you’re traveling! Healthy teeth don’t take a vacation, after all. Travel kits can include toothbrushes, floss, toothpaste, toothpicks, and much more to ensure that everything necessary for mornings and nights of clean teeth are ready and available, even when not at home.
Don’t Forget the Stockings!
Smaller gifts can be dental-related, too! Flavored toothpaste, toothbrush covers, sugar-free gum, brushing timers, and more all make awesome stocking stuffers.
Sure, dental gifts might not be the ONLY thing wrapped up with care this year—but these options can be just a few of many that will help your loved ones smile with joy this year! Happy gifting!
