That being the case, many of you are likely buying gifts for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and more. However, have you considered adding some smile-friendly stocking stuffers to your shopping list? Such items make fantastic presents and boost your kids&rsquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drgsmiles.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">oral health.<\/a> As such, your dentist in Medford has a few to suggest. Here&rsquo;s a summary of three holiday gifts sure to give your child a shiny smile.<\/p><!--more--><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tasty Dental Products<\/h2><p>As it turns out, not all kids are fans of minty toothpaste and floss. Given that fact, you might want to put some with different flavors in your children&rsquo;s stockings.<\/p><p>It isn&rsquo;t hard to find tasty alternatives &mdash; just visit your local supermarket or pharmacy. There, you&rsquo;ll find products with flavors like bubblegum, citrus, cinnamon, and more. If you&rsquo;re lucky, you may even come across ones that taste like cupcakes!<\/p><p>When it comes to toothpaste for kids, in particular, keep the following in mind:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose brands that contain fluoride.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Look for the ADA Seal of Approval.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consult your dentist about the toothpaste if your child is under two.<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Healthy Snacks<\/h2><p>As a parent, you may want to gift your little ones treats as sweet as they are &mdash; chocolates, candy canes, etc. However, try to avoid doing so. Such items are jam-packed with sugar that erodes enamel and causes cavities.<\/p><p>Try putting healthy snacks in the stocking this year for a nutritious alternative. These might include raisins, nuts, and sugar-free gum. The gum, especially, would be a good choice, as brands with xylitol help produce saliva and reduce tooth decay.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Sports Mouthguard<\/h2><p>Perhaps you have a child who likes to play sports. If you do, put a sports mouthguard in the overgrown sock. Many sporting events involve dental injuries, so the appliance will keep their teeth safe. In particular, the mouthguard will prevent your tyke&rsquo;s smile from getting chipped, cracked, or worse.<\/p><p>While &ldquo;boil and bite&rdquo; mouthguards can be found at sporting goods stores, try to get one from a local dentist. The latter are custom-fit and thus offer more protection.<\/p><p>In the end, it&rsquo;s good for kids to have healthy smiles for the holidays. Therefore, try buying the items above &mdash; your dentist in Medford will appreciate it!<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drgsmiles.com\/meet-dr-giamberardino.html\"><em>Dr. Anthony Giamberardino<\/em><\/a><em> is a dentist based in Medford, MA, having earned his DDM from Tufts University&rsquo;s School of Dental Medicine.
