Mother’s Day is this Sunday, and while we hope you’ve already picked out the perfect gift for mom, it’s possible that you might need a hand narrowing things down. That’s why we’ve prepared a list of our top 5 dentist-approved Mother’s Day gifts to help keep her smile bright, her teeth happy and her day feeling extra special:
We’ve talked before about the benefits of using a water flosser to clean between your teeth. They’re easier to use, are as (if not more) effective at dislodging food particles and are less likely to cause gum injury than regular floss. Water flossers can also make up for any loss in manual dexterity over time.
A mother’s smile can light up a room, so why not give her bright, white teeth to match. Zoom! Whitening by Philips, available at both our St. Vital Centre and Garden City locations, is the number one dentist-recommended whitening treatment available today. After just one 90-minute session, patients begin to see noticeable improvements to discolouration and dark spots on their teeth.
From changing diapers to babysitting the grandkids, moms have a lot on their plates. As cabin season approaches, why not surprise her with a travel kit of dental care essentials, including a travel toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash and a tongue scraper. That way, she can focus on the fun parts of summer vacation instead of packing and planning.
We’ve never met a mom that didn’t deserve a bit of rest and relaxation, especially on Mother’s Day. The gift of a day at the spa, a massage or any of her favourite revitalizing activities paired with a fancy new toothbrush (we recommend trying a Curaprox toothbrush), mouthwash and other mouth-rejuvenating mainstays is a surefire way to find yourself in mom’s good graces.
While we normally recommend avoiding sweets as much as possible, there are plenty of Mother’s Day staple snacks that are delicious and beneficial to your oral health. Dark chocolate-dipped strawberries are high in antioxidants, nutrient-rich and lower in sugar than milk chocolate. A fruit platter that prioritizes low-acidity fruits like melon, papaya, figs and other berries are a safe bet as well.
From all of us here at Dental Image Therapy Centres, we’d like to wish all the mothers – both those in our own lives and those who visit our chairs – a very happy Mother’s Day!
