When you are on the lookout for excellent stocking stuffers for your little ones, you may discover that you have some trouble coming up with ideas. To be more precise, you might find that you have some trouble coming up with gifts that don’t make you visualize your children’s smiles full of cavities. Never fear, your children’s dentist is full of stocking stuffer recommendations that are easy to find and safe for growing smiles.

Xylitol Goodies

Your children’s dentist strongly suggests swapping out regular table sugar with xylitol as your sweetener of choice. Here’s why: Sugar is bad for teeth! As you know, it promotes gum disease and decay. Xylitol is sweet, safe for teeth, and can even help prevent plaque adhesion. Spend some time taking a look at chocolates, other candies, gum, and even sodas sweetened with this option and you’ll find there are many delicacies to choose from.

A Mouthguard Is Always Useful

Your children’s dentist knows as well as you that children are often a little bit injury bound. As they’re growing and learning and playing (and sometimes falling over or running into things), why not give the gift of prevention? Particularly helpful for team sports situations, the gift of a sports mouthguard is one that keeps on giving.

Anything With Favorite Characters

What character, movie, or show are your kids into these days? Chance are pretty good that their favorite is plastered all over dental hygiene items, so take a quick trip to the drugstore. Any toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, toothbrush holder, or even hand towel will do!
