Sticky candy is popular with kids, but it\u2019s loved a little less by their dentists. You can always schedule your child for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebrickdentalcare.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">checkup<\/a> after the holidays are over, but in the meantime, there are a few steps you can take to improve your child\u2019s oral health. Here are some tooth-friendly stocking stuffer ideas that can make your children <em>and<\/em> their dentist happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Electric Toothbrush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This one may sound a little bit corny, but if your children are on the younger side, they may have a little bit of trouble brushing their teeth each night. Very young children may even lack the fine motor skills to properly brush their teeth themselves. An electric toothbrush is a gift that can make this daily task a little bit easier for them. There are hundreds of kinds of electric toothbrushes for children on the market\u2014some branded with their favorite characters, others programmed to play their favorite song while they brush. You should have no problem finding some that will make dental hygiene exciting for your children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tooth-healthy Snacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your kids are missing candy canes and gummy worms in their stockings, it can be a good idea to give them some treats that can satisfy their sweet tooth, with a lower chance of cavities. Dried fruits is usually a good pick, as they tend to stick to the teeth a bit less than candy or caramel. If your children prefer savory snacks, some softer nuts make for nutritious snacks that can actually scrape away plaque as your child eats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tasty Toothpaste and Mouthwash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the struggles of monitoring your children\u2019s brushing is making sure that they don\u2019t swallow their toothpaste or mouthwash. Thankfully, many brands make kid-friendly versions of these products. These are not only a little bit less harmful if swallowed, but they also come in flavors your kids will love! Many children prefer bubblegum, watermelon, and other flavors to the typical mint found in toothpaste. If you want to reiterate the importance of oral hygiene this December, these products make for great stocking stuffers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the best thing you can do for your children once the holidays are over is to have their dentist professionally clean their teeth. If your kids have had a few too many sweets, they\u2019ll be able to deal with the aftermath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Nu Dental Brick, we believe that nobody should have to dread going to the dentist.
