And just like that, Christmas is practically here! In just a few short weeks, kids around the world will run to their living room as fast as possible to feast their eyes on a glorious array of presents. Priority number one? Stockings! If you are looking for stocking stuffers that your child (and their teeth!) will love, then keep reading.
#1. Tasty Dental Products
As a parent, getting your little one excited about their oral care can be an uphill battle. However, you can help pique their interest in taking care of their smile by introducing tasty dental products into their oral care regimen. Try bubblegum toothpaste and minty floss to start! Just make sure the products contain fluoride and have the ADA Seal of Approval.
#2. Healthy Snacks
Delicious chocolate, mouth-puckering sour candies, and ooey-gooey caramel are just a few delectable treats that make this time of year complete. Unfortunately, they aren’t exactly mouth-healthy. Therefore, try including items like raisins, nuts, and sugar-free gum as well. That way, they have some options that their taste buds and their teeth will love.
#3. A Super-Fun Toothbrush
According to the American Dental Association, replacing your toothbrush every three to four months is an essential component of proper oral care. So, why not put a new one in their stocking to end the year strong? To ensure they are thrilled about this addition, pick one that is themed to one of their interests, like Batman or My Little Pony. Plus, you can opt for one that plays music while they brush for an added layer of fun!
In just a few weeks, Christmas will be here! So, there is no time like the present to purchase stocking stuffers that will make your loved ones’ eyes light up this year. Just make sure there are a few items that make the “nice” list, like the smile-friendly options above.
