The holiday season is an exciting time of the year for children. Besides the bright lights, colorful decorations, and carefully wrapped gifts, children also look forward to looking in their stockings on Christmas morning. Although they are often loaded with sweet treats, your pediatric dentist recommends you think twice about grabbing candies and cookies. Instead, here are 5 teeth-friendly stocking stuffers your child will love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Fun Electric Toothbrush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Children love getting new toothbrushes. You can give them\nwhat they want and encourage a healthy smile<\/a> with a\nfun electric toothbrush in their stocking. There are many different types you\ncan choose from, like those that light up or play music to tell them how long\nto brush. No matter the kind you choose, be sure to pick one that accommodates the\nsize of their mouth, has soft bristles, and has earned the ADA\u2019s Seal of\nAcceptance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Flavorful Floss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Flossing is equally important for children as it is for\nadults. Most flosses come in a minty or cinnamon flavor, which many children\ndon\u2019t like. As an alternative to traditional floss, there are many unique flavors,\nlike bacon, waffles, or bubble gum. Choose a few fun-flavored flosses to add to\nyour child\u2019s stocking. You\u2019ll make them look forward to flossing their teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Healthy Snacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t need to skip the goodies to keep your child\u2019s\nteeth healthy. Instead, swap the sweet treats for fresh fruit, nuts, and other\nhealthy snacks. They can still enjoy a tasty treat without placing their smile\nat risk of decay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Pick Sugarless Gum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sugarless gum can actually improve your child\u2019s dental\nhealth. Gum stimulates saliva production to keep their mouth moist. This is\nessential for removing harmful food particles, plaque, and bacteria from their\nteeth in between brushing and flossing. Not to mention, it can combat bad\nbreath. You can let your child chew gum without worrying about cavities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Sugar-Free Lollipops<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can still give your child something sweet in their\nstocking with sugar-free lollipops. There are many different varieties that are\nsure to please any child without increasing their risk of tooth decay; however,\nbe sure they don\u2019t bite into them to avoid an unexpected dental emergency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose Smile-Friendly Stocking Stuffers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No holiday season is complete without creative stocking\nstuffers. You can give your child a reason to smile and keep their teeth healthy\nby choosing items that are safe for their oral health. Invest in a healthy\nsmile for the year ahead with simple teeth-friendly stocking stuffers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
