Now that it\u2019s early May, maybe you’ve already started to think about your summer plans. You wouldn\u2019t be the only one; a lot of folks in town are noticing the warmer air. Still, don\u2019t get ahead of yourself \u2013 there\u2019s still Mother\u2019s Day to consider! Before you head off to “fun in the sun,” you should pick out a present for your mom. Your Weatherford dental practice<\/a> will even help. So, take some time to look at these four dentist-approved gifts for Mother\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

An Electric Toothbrush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even if she sees herself as old-school, your mom is sure to like an upgrade to her oral care routine. That\u2019s why one great gift idea would be an electric toothbrush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s electric toothbrushes \u2013 bought online or from stores \u2013 come with all sorts of handy options. Some rather nice brands even have multiple settings for brushing, massaging, etc. They could let your mom know if she\u2019s brushed long enough or if she\u2019s using too much force. In select cases, a model can also link to a phone app and show a map of the areas she\u2019s overlooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Waterpik Flosser<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Normal dental floss can be tricky for anyone, moms included. The string often has a habit of getting away from you. Luckily, you could solve that problem for your parent with a Waterpik flosser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Waterpik flosser is a device that sprays water between the teeth and below the gumline. In doing so, it basically uses water pressure to floss those areas instead of string. The result is an easier flossing that removes plaque more quickly and simply. As a bonus, the appliance also leaves tooth enamel white and shiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dark Chocolate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s easy to see any chocolate as a dental no-no of sorts. However, some types are a relative exception to this rule. Dark chocolate is one such kind, so try getting some for your mom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, dark chocolate has less sugar than other types. Just one bar only has about 10-12 grams of this processed carb. In contrast, a same-sized milk chocolate bar contains 25 grams of sugar. That means the darker stuff isn\u2019t as bad for oral health. It\u2019ll let her indulge her sweet tooth without harming her teeth much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want your mom to feel pampered, a pro teeth whitening treatment is a fine choice. This procedure would help her smile shine brighter than ever!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chances are your mother would really like this gift. Based on current studies, roughly 80% of Americans wish they had whiter teeth. That means a teeth whitening session could boost her confidence on her big day. She\u2019d just need to see a dentist so her grin would look lighter by six to eight shades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summers come and go, but having a mom is a blessing. Keep that in mind as you review the dentist-approved gifts for Mother\u2019s Day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
