Mother’s Day Dental Tips and Gift Ideas for BIG Smiles!

The older you get, the more difficult it can be to find the right Mother’s Day gift.

While handmade gifts and finger-painted art may have done the trick when you were a kid, you may be looking for something a little bit more adult this year.

A grownup Mother’s Day gift doesn’t have to be stuffy, dull, or predictable. It can be surprising, affordable, and practical!

What does that mean? At Ria Family Dental, we’re suggesting you get your Mom the gift of oral health!

Here are some great Mother’s Day gifts that all have a dental theme!

#1 Get Mum a Treatment!

The possibilities are as endless as your Mum’s dental needs and wants.

The best place to start is with a dental check-up and clean, or if she thinks her smile has tarnished over time, set up with teeth whitening.

If you think it is too hard to gift wrap a dental check-up and clean, then think again.

#2 Electric Toothbrush

Electric toothbrushes are great at removing dental plaque and can be much easier to use than regular toothbrushes.

This is particularly useful if you have a Mum with arthritis or other flexibility issues.

Dentists suggest brushing teeth for a solid two minutes, but the reality is most people do not dedicate enough time to cleaning and only commit about 45 seconds to their teeth, tongue, and gums.

Most electric toothbrushes have internal timers that can make your Mum fully conscious of her brushing time and even alert her every 30 seconds to move to a new quadrant of her teeth!

#3 Water Flosser

A water flosser uses small jets of pressurised water to wash bacteria, food, and other types of debris from the mouth.

They do not only remove debris and bacteria that a toothbrush may miss but can also help massage the gums.

This can help increase blood circulation and keep gums healthy! Water flossers are also great for anyone who has trouble with precise coordination in small areas that flossing requires.
