It’s always a good time to teach kids about proper dental care. You know that and Santa does too. That’s why every opportunity to help your kids learn more about how to keep their teeth clean and bright is a good one. When Christmas morning comes there are certainly worse things to find stuffed in their stocking then a selection of the great choices below.
- Toothbrushes. You can get them a great (soft-bristled) toothbrush but there are plenty of brushes branded with cartoon characters your kids might love as well. If they’re a little older you might want to try gifting them with their first electric toothbrush to see if they like the feel of it. If your kid spends time at sleepovers or at camp grab them a cool toothbrush case as well.
- Floss. Flavored dental floss is always a favorite but you might want to put in some interdental picks as well. Give them the opportunity to choose what they might like to use to clean between their teeth.
- Sugar-free gum. A classic favourite. Kids love gum, and you’ll love that this gum is actually good for their teeth. Still tastes great, too.
- Other stuff. If you’re looking for longer term dental care options you can always throw in a ‘certificate’ you make for something they want, like professional whitening, or a custom mouth guard, that they can ‘cash in’ at the dentist.
The holidays are for families and there’s precious moments in watching kids (and adults) open up their stockings. If you fill it with the things that will help their teeth they’ll be the gifts that keep on giving.
