The holiday season is upon us, and it’s time to spread some cheer to the people you care about. While traditional Christmas gifts like scarves and socks are always appreciated, why not surprise your loved ones with something both thoughtful and practical—dental gifts that promote health and wellness? Healthy smiles are one of the best presents you can give, and many dental products make fantastic gifts that are both useful and fun!
Here’s a list of some great dental-themed Christmas gifts that are recommended by our dentists here at Dentistry On George
Electric Toothbrushes
Electric toothbrushes are a game-changer when it comes to brushing your teeth. They make brushing more effective and can help improve oral hygiene by providing better plaque removal compared to manual brushing. Whether it’s a high-tech toothbrush with customizable settings or a simple, budget-friendly version, an electric toothbrush makes an excellent gift for anyone looking to up their oral care routine.
Oral-B Pro 300
The Oral b Pro 300 comes with a 2 minute timer with a signal every 30 seconds to change the brushing zone in your mouth and 3 Brush modes (extra sensitive, Sensitive, and Daily Clean) mode. A great all-rounder for most people.
Oral-B Pro 3000
The Oral-B Pro 3000 has the same features as the Pro 300 plus a visible pressure sensor which alerts you and reduces speed to ensure that you don’t press too hard on gums. Great for those with gum recession.
Oral B iO10
If you want the most top of the range and technologically advanced toothbrush, the iO10 is for you. This toothbrush comes with build in AI to recognize your brushing style. It has smart sensors and 3D tracking and syncs with the Oral-B App to track your goals and diagnostics.
This brush has 7 brushing modes – daily clean, sensitive, gum care, intense clean, super sensitive, tongue clean and whiten.
It also has a Smart Pressure Sensor which lights up red, white or green to let you know if you are brushing toot hard, too soft or just right.
Oral B Kids Battery Brushes
Frozen or Spiderman. Any way to make brushing fun and exciting for kids is a great present in our eyes!
Water Flossers
Water flossers are an innovative way to clean between teeth, especially for people who may have difficulty using traditional floss. They are a perfect gift for individuals with braces, implants, or sensitive gums, as they offer a gentle yet effective clean. A water flosser can be a thoughtful addition to a daily oral care regimen, ensuring a fresh, clean mouth after every meal.
We don’t recommend water flossers instead of floss. They are a useful adjunct on top of flossing, or for those who can’t use floss.

Dental Gift Sets
If you’re looking for a well-rounded dental gift, consider a dental care gift set that includes essentials like toothpaste, floss, a toothbrush, and mouthwash. These sets are convenient and make great stocking stuffers, plus if you get travel minis they are a great gift for those who travel a lot.
You can put together your own kit, buying mini versions of your favorite toothpastes, mouthwashes and floss, or you can buy ready-made kits at most chemists and/or supermarkets.
Personalized Toothbrush Holders
A unique and thoughtful gift, personalized toothbrush holders can add a special touch to someone’s bathroom. You can choose from a variety of fun designs, and many can be customized with the recipient’s name or initials. Not only are these holders practical, but they also add a fun, personal flair to bathroom decor.
Top Picks:
- We like Bathroom Buddies Toothbrush Holders – great novelty toothbrush covers for kids. These keep the bristles hygienically clean and will suction their toothbrush on to the bathroom mirror.
Orthodontic Care Kits
For those who wear braces or other orthodontic appliances, an orthodontic care kit is a thoughtful and practical gift. These kits often include specialized tools like orthodontic wax, interproximal brushes, floss threaders, and more. This is a perfect gift for teens or adults who want to keep their smiles clean and comfortable throughout their orthodontic treatment.

Eco-Friendly Dental Products
For the eco-conscious person on your list, why not opt for sustainable dental products? Bamboo toothbrushes, biodegradable dental floss, and refillable toothpaste tubes are eco-friendly alternatives to traditional dental care items. These gifts help reduce waste while promoting better oral health.
Top Picks:
Reusable Water Bottle
While not necessarily a dental product, we find that those who carry around a reusable water bottle, are more likely to sip on water throughout the day. This is great for those that may be suffering from dry mouth, but also for those who are perhaps trying to give up the habit of sipping on juices or soft drink throughout the day (which is very damaging for our teeth).
Final Thoughts
This holiday season, give the gift of a healthy, beautiful smile with thoughtful dental products that promote better oral hygiene. Whether you’re shopping for a friend, family member, or colleague, there’s a wide variety of dental gifts to choose from, ensuring your loved ones will not only have a festive holiday season but also a fresh and clean smile that lasts year-round.
Happy holidays and happy smiling! 🎄😁
