We love the month of May because that is the month that honors Mothers. Mother’s give us so much, which is why we always work hard to celebrate their special day with the perfect gift! We wanted to give you some ideas for ways to brighten mom’s smile this Mother’s Day both literally and figuratively and take the some of the pressure of finding the perfect gift off of you. You may notice that our gift list has her oral health in mind, but what could be better than keeping such a beautiful smile in tip-top shape?

Waterpik: This luxury will help keep Moms teeth and gums healthy for years to come. This device is a combination of water or air pressure and pulsations that eliminate food debris and stubborn plaque. It helps fight off gum disease while keeping her smile clean and fresh. We do not have these for sale in our office but recommend the WaterPik, and the Phillips Sonicare AirFloss. We do not carry any of these for sale, but Mom would certainly love this gift from her family!

Electric Toothbrush: Electric toothbrushes do a great job of keeping Moms smile healthy and bright and an efficient job of cleaning her teeth! We recommend the Oral-B brand of electric toothbrushes. Specifically, we carry the Oral-B 7000, but the Oral-B 3000 and 5000 are also good quality and slightly less expensive. We also like the Sonicare toothbrushes but do not carry them in our office. We give a slight edge to Oral-B due to the range of prices and different sized brush heads. If you are interested in purchasing an electric toothbrush from our office, the cost is $120+tax, and the replacement heads are $6+tax/per head.

In-Office Whitening: What mom doesn’t want a whiter smile? Make Mom’s special day by scheduling her for an in-office whitening treatment. Finney Family Dentistry is proud to offer Opalescence Boost, the whitest smile Mom can get, and without the sensitivity, some whitening products may cause. The treatment takes less than an hour, but Mom is sure to spend much of the next day showing off her new smile to family and friends!

Home Whitening Kit: Do you want something that you can wrap up and give to her in person? Then our take home whitening kits may be the ticket. We are proud to offer Opalescence GO Take Home Whitening Gels which are only available from your dentist. This simple and effective product typically produces results in about a week, wearing them just 15-20 minutes just once per day. If a more custom solution is what you are looking for we also offer custom whitening trays.

Whatever gift you choose for Mom we wish you all a wonderful holiday, knowing that time spent with family is the best gift you can give Mom.
