It’s hard to believe that another year is coming to a close and that the holidays are once again upon us. The holiday season usually brings excitement and joy, but it can often cause stress as well. Christmas is right around the corner, and if you’re one of the 55% of people who wait until the week before Christmas to buy your presents, you may need some help coming up with some gift ideas.
We know that oral health gifts may not seem like the traditional way to go this Christmas, but they truly are the gift that keeps on giving! Maintaining good oral health will keep you healthy, lower your risk for developing certain health conditions, and increase your life-span. What could be a better gift than that? They can also be really fun!
We came up with a few of our favorite tooth-friendly gift ideas to help you out with your shopping this season:
- Electric toothbrushes ($20-$200)
It’s nearly impossible to not have fun while brushing your teeth with an electric toothbrush. They even come in all different colors and designs for kids and adults! Electric toothbrushes have also been proven to be more effective at blasting away food particles and removing bacteria than manual ones. Don’t forget to buy the replacement heads.
**This month, Simple Smiles is selling the Crest Oral-B iO Transformational Gum Health System bundle for adults, and the Crest Oral-B Power Toothbrush for kids at a reduced price. The adult brushes are selling for $175 instead of the regular price of $200, and the kid brushes are selling for $40. Get yours today!**
- Water Pik / Water Flosser ($35-$120)
Do you have anyone in your life who hates to floss? A water pik, or flosser, is a great gift idea for anyone who avoids flossing. This tool tends to be less abrasive and more comfortable to use.
- Whitening Treatments ($30-$500)
Store-bought whitening strips can be a great gift to give to a loved one, but a professional whitening treatment at your dentist would be even better – call us today to set up a whitening treatment consultation for you or your loved one!
- Buy a cheese selection ($10-$50)
You read that right! Cheese is actually great for teeth as it has no sugar, and it neutralizes the acids in your mouth which help to protect your teeth from enamel erosion.
- Stocking Stuffers featuring oral health products ($5-$30)
A dental travel kit, a tooth fairy box, or sugar-free gum would all make wonderful stocking stuffers that could benefit your oral health.
Perhaps the greatest gift concerning oral health that you can give others and yourself this Christmas would be to schedule regular dental appointments. Allow Simply Smiles to take good care of you, and you’ll be able to grin with confidence at all your holiday parties. All we want for Christmas is for our patients to have healthy smiles, and on behalf of our entire team here at Simply Smiles, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
