Unique and Fun Dentist Approved Stocking Stuffers

With the holidays rapidly approaching we all find ourselves busy preparing. Now is the time to start thinking about holiday gifts and stocking stuffers. While it is fun to stuff stockings until they burst with treats, stockings are also a great place to slip in something your family may need. Your El Segundo Modern Dentistry office team wants your family to have bright healthy smiles while still having holiday fun. Check out this list of fun and different stocking stuffer ideas that are good fun and good for you!

Give Wacky Toothpaste Flavors for Christmas

When we think of toothpaste, mint automatically comes to mind, but did you know there are lots of flavor options out there for your toothbrushing amusement? Some flavors are so bizarre that you have to wonder if anyone actually ever liked them. Imagine flavors like eggplant and curry sitting in your medicine cabinet.

But for those who are willing to try something a bit different, or who may need a little non-minty encouragement to brush their teeth consider some of these flavors:

Bacon

A savory taste for the bacon lover in your life. It’s not crispy, but it could be pretty tasty.

Chili

A refreshing spearmint with the tingle and heat of spicy chili peppers. Not for the faint of heart.

Cupcake

For those looking to satisfy their sweet tooth without indulging in the real thing. Try this one for the sweets loving reluctant brusher in your home.

Chocolate

While the sugar in chocolate may not be great for teeth, chocolate toothpaste is! So, satisfy those chocolate cravings while keeping teeth healthy.

Lemon

There are many varieties of lemon toothpastes now on the market, from lemon-mint to lemon and lavender.

Oreo

That’s right- toothpaste that tastes just like a cookie. It will feel more like a snack than brushing your teeth.

Make Flossing Cool

Ask around and you probably won’t find too many people who love to floss. But what if flossing could be better? Good news- it can! Why not show off a cool new flossing idea by sticking it in a stocking?

Luxury Floss

Floss is now better than ever with tons of new flavor options. Ever tried strawberry, coconut, confetti cake, or passion fruit floss?

Floss Subscription Companies

There are now companies that will ship luxury floss straight to your door on your schedule. Set up a subscription with your preferences and never run out of floss again.

Cute Floss Holders

Spice up flossing with a cute new friend! Forget the boring white square floss containers and opt for a cute new hedgehog or even a dragon to hold your floss for you. Or look for floss in containers from favorite characters and colors.

Eco-Friendly Floss

If you’ve got an environmental ally on your list why not treat them to some eco-friendly floss options? Try bamboo floss picks that can be easily composted, or floss made from bamboo instead of plastic fibers.

Fun Toothbrushes for Stocking Stuffers

Your toothbrush is your most basic and well used item of oral hygiene. Everybody has one, but why not make it special for the members of your family. Consider looking into some of these brushes to make the brushing experience unique for everyone.

Singing Brush

Singing toothbrushes can be found in many varieties and with lots of song options. Each brush has a song to time tooth brushing and help reinforce habits. You can choose from nursery rhymes for toddlers all the way to pop songs for the music lover in your life.

Light Up Brush

Another great toothbrush option is a light up brush. The brush will light up or flash to time brushing. This is a great gift if you want to encourage good habits but don’t want to add noise to the brushing routine.

Rubber Brush

Rubber toothbrushes are a popular choice to use with babies and toddlers, but adults may prefer them too! The bristles are soft and flexible and can be easily washed if they become dirty. They are great for brushing gums and tongues!

Electric Brush

If the toothbrushers in your life need a helping hand, then an electric brush may be the right choice. Electric brushes are available in all sizes, colors, and price ranges. They are a great tool for helping even reluctant brushes make sure their teeth are clean.

Other Unique Dentist Approved Gifts

There are plenty of other options for adding to stockings that are great for oral health. If you’re still looking for ideas, consider some of these items to slip inside.

Toothpaste Tube Squeezer

An invaluable gift for those that squeeze the tube from the middle or for little hands that have trouble squeezing toothpaste from the tube. Just slip it on the end of the tube and periodically push it upward to ensure that all the toothpaste makes it out of the opening and onto waiting brushes.

Toothbrush Holder

A cup or clip that holds your toothbrush in the perfect tool for keeping the toothbrush and bathroom clean and tidy. Make sure the brush stays out of the way and avoids getting dirty by assigning it a special place. Toothbrush holders come in all shapes and colors from cacti to planets, movie stars to animated characters.

Tooth Whitening Pen

Do you have an avid coffee or tea drinker in your family? Consider throwing a tooth whitening pen into their stocking. A quick and simple way to lighten teeth without a visit to the dentist’s office.

This holiday season make sure to take the time to schedule all your family’s regular dental appointments.
