Are you taking advantage of all of the holiday deals?  When you're out holiday shopping this weekend, here are a few tooth-friendly stocking stuffers you might want to grab!

Tooth-Friendly Gifts:
  • Xylitol Chewing Gum - Sugar-free gum helps stimulate saliva and buffer the acids that damage your teeth after a meal.  Xylitol is a natural sweetener that can even help prevent tooth decay!
  • Flavored Tooth Paste - Kids toothpaste comes in a variety of flavors, including mint, bubblegum - and even unique flavors like bacon and chocolate!  Choose their favorite flavor!
  • Flavored Floss - Flossing is an important part of your oral hygiene routine.  Pick a flavor your child loves to help get them excited about flossing.
  • Fun Toothbrush - There are many different character and animal shaped toothbrushes and toothbrush holders.  There are princesses, race cars and superhero-shaped handles!  Electric toothbrushes can light up and play songs too!
  • Sports Mouthguard - A mouthguard can help kids who love contact sports like football, socker, basketball, and baseball protect their teeth.  There are plenty of fun color and design options available!
