Next to the colorful decorations and carefully wrapped gift boxes, the stockings are another highlight of the holiday season. Unfortunately, if you aren\u2019t careful about what\u2019s put into your loved ones\u2019 stockings, you could place their dental health at risk. You don\u2019t have to harm their smile or cause disappointment with what\u2019s hidden inside. Your orthodontist has 5 teeth-friendly ideas for stocking stuffers.
<\/p>\n

1. Fun electric toothbrushes.<\/h2>\n

Who doesn\u2019t love the feeling of a new toothbrush? You can make everyone in your home smile with a new spin on their oral hygiene routine. Electric toothbrushes are great stuffers even your children will enjoy. Be sure to choose those that have earned the ADA\u2019s Seal of Acceptance, select those that have soft bristles. Don\u2019t forget to keep the size of your loved one\u2019s mouth in mind.<\/p>\n

2. Sugarless sweets.<\/h2>\n

No stocking is complete without a sweet treat. Instead of your traditional candies or cookies, choose sugarless gum or lollipops. They are ideal for any sweet tooth without increasing the risk of cavities. In fact, they can even improve a person\u2019s dental health because they promote saliva production to help cleanse the teeth in between brushing and flossing.<\/p>\n

3. Mouthguard.<\/h2>\n

A sportsguard is the perfect gift for any athlete in your home. Although they might be small, they offer an exceptional layer of protection for the teeth and gums if there\u2019s impact or injury to the face or mouth. In fact, research shows over 200,000 oral injuries are avoided annually because of athletic mouthguards. Not only can they protect your loved one\u2019s smile, but they have also shown to reduce the risk of a concussion if there\u2019s trauma to the head.<\/p>\n

4. Flavored floss.<\/h2>\n

Believe it or not, floss is available in a variety of flavors. There are your traditional varieties, such as mint or cinnamon, but you can also find unique flavors like bacon, waffles, or even cake. A fun flavor is sure to bring a smile to anyone\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

5. Healthy snacks.<\/h2>\n

Skip the candy, cupcakes, and cookies in the stocking this year. Instead, choose fresh fruit, nuts, and other healthy snacks.<\/p>\n

Encourage a Healthy Smile for the Holidays!<\/h2>\n

This season, you can give the gift of a healthy smile by choosing a few different items when shopping for stocking stuffers. You can keep your family\u2019s teeth and gums healthy and give them a reason to smile by keeping their dental health in mind.<\/p>\n
