There may not be a lot of people who think about teeth and dentistry when considering holiday gifts, but giving the gift of dental care can be more meaningful than other options..
Many seniors (and other people) struggle financially to pay for their dental visits. Some of them postpone treatment and wait until they have a painful emergency or their teeth can't be saved. They are also likely to develop infections like gum disease that can impact their overall health. Giving a gift certificate for dental care or paying off a dental bill that feels overwhelming helps your loved ones enjoy improved health and peace of mind.
You may have someone on your gift list that is uncomfortable with the way their teeth look. A less than perfect smile can impact how they feel about themselves and their confidence in work and social situations. Giving the gift of teeth whitening or a smile makeover can change their life. We have seen it happen.
Professional strength electric toothbrushes or oral irrigators make excellent gifts. You can skip the mall and shop at the dental office for healthy gifts like these that keep on giving for years to come.
And, don't forget the stocking stuffers. Colorful and fun toothbrushes, dental floss, windup walking teeth, sugarless gum, and weird fake teeth are all fun ways to get the holiday started.
