It’s That Time of the Year

And people are trying to come up with creative gifts for people. Have you ever thought of gifting something from your dental office?

One option might be an electric toothbrush. At Library Park Dental we offer electric toothbrushes to you at our cost because we want more people to have access to electric toothbrushes. According to the research-based group Cochrane, electric toothbrushes reduce plaque by 21% over manual toothbrushes. After three months of use, gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) is reduced by 11%. And for anyone with arthritis or manual dexterity issues, electric toothbrushes make it easier to brush and get your whole mouth clean. Some electric toothbrushes also have a timer, which helps you to know if you have brushed for the recommended two minutes.

Another option might be Crest Professional Whitestrips or in-office tooth whitening. The Crest Professional Whitestrips are small flexible strips that are coated with a tooth whitening gel containing peroxide. The strips are placed on the teeth so that the gel remains in contact with your teeth. The stains on the surface of your teeth and below the surface are then removed. If you would rather have faster results or greater improvement in shade than is possible through the Professional Whitestrips, you could gift an in-office professional tooth whitening. This combines a professional formula with a special light to remove stains and lighten teeth by several shades in a one hour process.

And yet another option would be for a gift certificate for dental care. This gift certificate would be applied to someone’s account and help them to pay for dental cleanings or treatment such as a crown, implant, filling, or gum recession surgery that is needed. Contact our office today to talk to someone about how to purchase a gift certificate for your loved one.
