The holidays are about spending time with your loved ones, enjoying delicious dinners, spreading laughter, making lifelong memories, and opening gifts. What better way to show how much you care about your loved ones than gifting them with presents that will improve their oral health. Keep on reading to learn about the Upper Hunt Club Dental Centre’s holiday gift guide for this holiday season. 

Water Flosser
A water flosser is a perfect gift idea for those family members, or friends, who aren’t willing to invest in one themselves. Although there are affordable options out on the market, water flossers are definitely pricier than regular floss. However, water flossers have many more advantages in comparison to regular floss because they are much easier to use and target those hard to reach spots, especially for any loves ones that have braces or permanent retainers.  

Electric Toothbrush
Unfortunately, many people do not see the need to invest in their own oral care. Similarly, to the water floss and regular floss, an electric toothbrush is definitely more costly than a manual toothbrush. However, an electric toothbrush is not something that will break the bank and it is a gift that will most definitely be used. Electric toothbrushes make brushing easier and are overall more effective at cleaning. Moreover, electric toothbrushes have several different technological features nowadays that make improving your overall oral health easier to achieve.

Pretend Dental Kit
Purchasing children fun and education toys are a great way for them to learn while they play. Many children are afraid of the dentist, however, a pretend dental kit with pretend dental tools may help them learn that the dentist is not a scary place. Practice role playing as the dentist and patient with your child to help them see the positive aspects of the dentist. Help them learn that the dentist is there to help and dental appointments are nothing to worry about.

Children’s Books
Books are another great way to educate your children about the dentist. Books range for different ages, making it simple to inform children about the benefits of the dentist and the importance of oral hygiene from any age. 

Reusable Hydration Tracking Water Bottle
Water is essential for every human, but unfortunately many people forget or just don’t drink enough water daily. It can be hard to remember how much water you drink throughout the day if you are not constantly tracking it. A great solution is a reusable hydration tacking water bottle. This type of water bottle not only tracks how much water you drink every day, but it also reminds you to drink water at a certain hour of the day. This gift idea will not only benefit oral health, but it will also help improve overall health.

DIY Travel Kit
Nothing is more meaningful than a gift you create yourself. For that friend or family member that is constantly traveling, you can create a nice travel oral hygiene care kit for them. For a quick gift idea, put some travel sized toothpaste, floss, mouthwash, and a toothbrush together into a reusable travel bag. Not only will your gift be useful for all of their trips, but it is also an affordable and easy gift idea to put together.

Stocking Stuffers
Stocking stuffers are the perfect way to gift those essential products that are important for daily use. Throw in a few packs of floss, a new toothbrush or toothbrush head, and some sugar free gum into your loved one’s stockings this holiday season.

Buying gifts during the holiday season can be extremely stressful, especially for those family members or friends that are hard to shop for.
