Some might call you crazy for thinking of dental gifts you can give to Mom on Mother’s Day. But you know her best. Maybe she’s passionate about health and wellness, or the practical sort who wields her purse like a magic suitcase – or maybe you’re tired of giving her jewelry every year. Regardless, the maternal figure in your life deserves the best, so here are 5 dentist-approved gift ideas that she’ll be able to smile about.
1. Help Her Maintain Her Health with A Toothbrush Upgrade
The term “crunchy mom” has built up so much steam for a reason. For many, it’s pretty accurate! So if you have the type of mom that goes to Whole Foods to buy Toms Toothpaste, she might appreciate a stronger anti-bacterial weapon than her bamboo-handled toothbrush. Electric toothbrushes are dentist-recommended, and to really round-out the gift, you can pair it with a water flosser for some extra preventative care.
2. Add to Her Stockpile of Supplies with An Emergency Dental Kit
Your mom is always prepared, and she’s proud of it! Band-aids, snacks, sunglasses, bug spray, a small sewing kit – somehow it seems like everything you could possibly need is stashed away in her purse. You can give her more opportunities to show off her skills by supplying her with an emergency dental kit. These kits are easy to DIY, so you can show her how much her resourcefulness has rubbed off on you and add a personal touch.
3. Brighten Her Day with Teeth Whitening
Is your Mother’s Day star always taking pictures? Does she enjoy dressing up or indulging in glamorous makeup? An in-office teeth whitening could be the sort of spa-day she’s been looking for! Her smile will feel fresh and clean, and thanks to her dentist’s professional tricks, she’ll be absolutely dazzling for the family photo-shoot.
4. Get Her Those Clear Aligners She’s Always Talking About
Has mom been dropping hints that she’d really like to try Invisalign or SureSmile? She has good judgement! Clear aligners are an excellent way to straighten teeth without getting hung up on metal braces. No one will be able to tell she’s wearing them – unless she wants them to, of course. Sometimes part of the fun is bragging about your gift to your friends.
5. Don’t Forget the Essentials: Chocolate and Tea
Last but certainly not least, remember to buy mom some quality chocolates and teas! Dark chocolate is lower in sugar than other types, making it a delicious dental-friendly treat. Green and black teas are excellent for stunting the growth of bad oral bacteria. You can serve it with a metal or silicone straw to limit contact between the staining tea and her teeth. She’ll be cozy and guilt-free with her low-sugar snacks!
We all know that our moms will love our gifts no matter what we get them. Some moms might even still have those elementary school drawings framed and hung on the wall somewhere everyone can see them. But that makes it even more important to be thoughtful about what we give them. If you’re wanting to go all-out for Mom this year, give your dentist a call. They might have an idea or two.
