With Mother’s Day around the corner, there isn’t enough time to get Mom an elaborate gift. But that doesn’t mean it has to be anything less than spectacular. We’ve put together a list of the top 5 gift ideas that will surely get Mom to smile bigger and brighter. These are all dental related products and are available right here in Yorba Linda and the surrounding areas.
1. Teeth Whitening. Surprise Mom with whiter teeth! Everyone could always use a brighter looking smile. Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment that can whiten teeth in just 1 hr.
What you need to do: Simply call our office and make an appointment for Mom. We’ll do the rest! Learn more about teeth whitening here.
2. Waterpik Flosser. Flossing is the key to promoting and maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Make it more fun and exciting for Mom to floss. Plus, she’ll be the coolest Mom with the most high-tech flosser. The Waterpik Flosser uses water pressure to simulate traditional flossing motion.
What you need to do: This is widely available at most stores like Target, Bed Bath Beyond, and Walmart. It is also available online at Amazon. If ordering online, make sure you allow sufficient time for delivery.
3. Sonicare Toothbrush. Give Mom the most efficient and thorough toothbrush! An electric toothbrush like the Sonicare cleans your teeth at least 2 times better than a traditional toothbrush. They have built-in preset time intervals for optimal brushing. We highly recommend using an electric toothbrush over a traditional. Brushing should be done at least twice a day to keep your smile healthy and happy.
What you need to do: Similar to the waterpik, you can pick up a sonicare virtually at any store. Costco usually have a good deal one on.
4. Brunch. Make this Mother’s Day Sunday a Brunch Date! The only twist is to include foods that are good for your teeth. Certain foods can benefit and improve your oral health. A great brunch idea is salmon lox and bagel! Salmon is rich in omega 3, which is great against periodontal or gum disease. Pair it with a side of fruits like strawberries, which can whiten your teeth naturally!
What you need to do: You could find great tasting bagels and lox at Panera or Avalon. If you want to make it more personal, prepare the food yourself and enjoy it in your back yard or patio. Costco or Sprouts will have everything you need!
5. Chocolates, Dark Ones. No one could resist chocolates. Not even Mom. The trick is to go with dark chocolates. They contain high concentrations of cocoa, which actually helps prevent cavities. But like all things, moderation is the key.
What you need to do: Any variety of dark chocolates will do. See’s Candies have a great selection of chocolates and they have a store in Brea Mall.
