This small yet versatile bag of oral healthcare necessities will ensure their teeth and gums stay healthy throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside, you can include items, such as a travel-sized toothbrush and toothpaste, dental floss, lip balm, and a compact mirror. These will not only be a useful addition to their daily lives, but they\u2019ll also appreciate knowing you care about the state of their smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From Manual to Electric: A New Toothbrush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone enjoys getting a new toothbrush, so when your child reaches down in their stocking and pulls out one with their favorite character staring back at them, expect them to get excited. You might get a similar reaction if you give your teen or spouse a fancy electric toothbrush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good rule of thumb to remember is to change out your toothbrush every 3-4 months to prevent germs from transferring onto teeth, especially after you\u2019ve been sick. Whether it\u2019s time for them to say hello to a new toothbrush or not, adding this to their stocking will certainly give them a reason to smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For Safe Keeping: A Tooth Fairy Pillow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it\u2019s time for your child to say goodbye to one of their primary teeth, they\u2019ll need someone to put it to keep it safe until the Tooth Fairy arrives. This is why they\u2019ll be happy to see a new pillow inside their stocking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With endless patterns, designs, and colors to choose from, you\u2019re bound to find one they\u2019ll enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Holiday stockings don\u2019t have to be full of decay-causing treats. Instead, they can include smile-friendly gifts that are not only enjoyable but also useful.
