But the typical stocking stuffers\u2014caramels and candy canes\u2014can be pretty rough on your kids\u2019 teeth. Fortunately, there are some gifts that fill out a stocking, that your children will love, and that will actually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pasadenafamilydentistry.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">prevent oral health problems<\/a>. If you want some tooth-healthy stocking stuffer ideas, here are a few that your kids will love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Electric Toothbrush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving your kids a toothbrush as a gift may sound a little silly, but electric toothbrushes have features that can make dental hygiene fun! It can sometimes be a little difficult to have your kids brush for the recommended two minutes, so some electric toothbrushes play music that can keep them engaged while they clean. Some toothbrushes even connect to apps that turn brushing into a game!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also encourage kids to take ownership of their oral health by getting them toothbrushes with their favorite colors and characters. Typical toothbrushes can be a little bit \u201cmedical,\u201d so it might be nice for your child to have something that feels like it\u2019s truly theirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tooth-friendly Treats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While it may not always seem like it, there are plenty of holiday treats that aren\u2019t also killer on teeth. It\u2019s best to avoid hard candies that can damage teeth when your child bites down on them. Sticky candies can also make a mess in the mouth that\u2019s hard to clean up. If your child is missing toffee, softer nuts covered in chocolate are a better alternative; they won\u2019t splinter in the mouth, and chocolate doesn\u2019t linger the same way stickier sugars might.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tasty Dental Products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be a challenge to get your kids to take their oral health seriously if they aren\u2019t a fan of minty toothpaste and dental floss. That\u2019s why there are so many dental hygiene products designed for children that contain more appealing flavors. While adults might not find grape or bubblegum toothpaste all that appetizing, kids will love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, you can get your child fun stocking stuffers that can encourage good oral hygiene. If they\u2019ve had a bit too much pie or candy this holiday season, these gifts will help them protect their teeth going into the new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Pasadena Family Dentistry, we put a lot of effort into making sure that patients of all ages are comfortable getting dental care.
