\"Christmas<\/a><\/figure><\/div>

When you’re thinking about what to give your family this holiday season, you probably spend a lot of time thinking about the big gifts, the things you’ll wrap up and hand to them directly. What you might not have considered is what to put in their stockings. Why not give your family gifts that can help them re-emphasize their oral health? If you need stocking stuffer ideas, here are a few that your family, and their teeth, will love.<\/p>

Electric Toothbrush<\/h2>

Electric toothbrushes have been clinically proven to clean more effectively than manual brushes, but they can also make brushing more exciting for kids who are normally bored by it. If your kids have trouble brushing for the recommended two minutes, there are electric toothbrushes programmed to play their favorite music for that amount of time. There are even toothbrushes that connect to apps on your phone, turning brushing into a game for your children. You need to replace their toothbrush every few months anyway, so why not give your kids a brush that will get them excited?<\/p>

Flavored Dental Floss<\/h2>

In a similar vein, mint might not be your kids’ favorite flavor. That can make them less than thrilled about brushing with their toothpaste or flossing. For younger kids, there are a wide variety of children’s dental products with flavors like bubblegum and watermelon.<\/p>

While most kids know to brush twice a day, many of them might struggle with flossing. Getting them flavored floss can get them interested in learning more about it, and can motivate them to build a flossing habit early in life.<\/p>

Sugar-free Xylitol Gum<\/h2>

If your family is craving sweets in their stockings, you don’t need to go straight for sticky, gummy candies. Instead, you can give them treats that actually improve their oral health!<\/p>

Sugar-free gum is great for your kids’ teeth. It stimulates saliva production, which serves to wash harmful sugars out of the mouth. Gum also comes in many delicious flavors, and it’ll fit perfectly in your children’s stockings.<\/p>

There are plenty of ways to reinforce good dental hygiene while still enjoying the holiday season. With these stocking stuffers, you can keep your family’s oral health in top shape going into the new year.<\/p>
