Nothing brings a smile to your face like spending time with family and friends during the holidays. To keep your family’s healthy smiles going long after you’ve handed out the presents and eaten some cookies, consider these stocking stuffer suggestions from our team in Waco, TX.
Sugar-Free Gum
When you can’t brush your teeth, chewing a piece of sugar-free gum with xylitol can be beneficial in the fight against harmful bacteria, plaque, and tooth decay.
Flossers
Everyone should be flossing daily, according to the American Dental Association. Surveys show that less than half of Americans actually do this. Many people find using dental floss annoying or frustrating. Flossers can simplify this by putting a strand of floss on a short handle.
Electric Toothbrush
If you have small children, you know they don’t always brush as they should. An electric toothbrush can make brushing more fun, which can make them more likely to brush before bed and in the morning. If you have older relatives, an electric toothbrush can help them clean their teeth a little better.
In addition to this, we hope you have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. We also hope you come to see us in 2022.

Many singers have sung about dreaming of a white Christmas. We may not have those very often in Texas, but you can have a white smile.
Professional teeth whitening can:
- Remove deep stains
- Make you look younger
- Improve your confidence
Our teeth naturally become yellower or darker as we get older. This also can make us self-conscious about our smiles. With professional whitening, you can restore the bright smile of your younger days while making you feel more comfortable about showing off your pearly whites in your family Christmas picture.

If you are anything like us, Thanksgiving is one of your favorite holidays. Sure you get to spend time with your loved ones, but the food makes it even better. If you are missing teeth, then you also may be missing out on some of your favorite dishes.
You can change that for future Thanksgivings, other holidays, and everyday meals by getting dental implants at our Waco, TX dental practice.
Rebuild Your Strong Bite
You often lose biting and chewing ability when you are missing teeth or have traditional dentures which can move around while you eat. By getting implants, your replacement teeth are connected to your jawbone, which allows you to bite and chew with practically as much force as someone with healthy, natural teeth.
Protect Your Jaw
Tooth loss often leads to bone loss in the jaw, which can lead to more tooth loss. Your implants will stimulate your jaw to create new bone tissue as old tissue is absorbed. This prevents future bone loss and keeps your jaw healthy and strong.
Secure Your Smile
Loose dentures can cause a lot of frustrations because they slide around and because they require adhesives to stay in place temporarily. When you have implants, you won’t worry about your new teeth shifting when you try to speak or smile.

If you are between the ages of 20 and 64 years old, then you need to know that there is a 25 percent chance that you have any untreated cavity right now. That’s according to the Centers for Disease Control.
It’s also a good reminder to schedule a dental cleaning and exam before the end of the year. If you haven’t had a check in the last six months, don’t wait any longer to plan your next visit.
