Happy Holidays to all! Tis the Season to stuff those stockings and watch people smile. At Total Orthodontics we would like to share some stocking stuffer ideas to consider for patients of all ages whether or not they are wearing braces. Instead of candy and sweets that can bend wires and knock off brackets during holiday festivities, give something more suitable to make your season bright.

1. Colgate Wisps for those on the go. Wisps are disposable mini-toothbrushes with a breath-freshening bead that allows you to have a clean, fresh mouth without water or rinsing.
2. Playing cards and card games
3. Fun pens, markers, and note paper
4. Comic books, puzzle books, or magazines
5. For the ladies – Festive nail polish, or for teens and adults, the latest in jamberry nail or Incoco nail design wraps that are easy to apply, don’t chip easily, and last up to two weeks!
6. Cash or prepaid debit card
7. Movie or concert tickets
8. Scratch off lottery tickets.
9. Super Snow for the kids no matter what age.
10. Gift cards
11. Fun Express Inflatable Reindeer Antler Ring Toss Game

What does Thanksgiving mean in your home? Our team here at Total Orthodontics realizes Thanksgiving can hold many meanings to many people. To us however Thanksgiving means being grateful and expressing gratitude for all the wonderful patients and families we have the opportunity and privilege to serve.

To most, Thanksgiving means a literal feast of turkey, mashed potatoes, giblet gravy, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. It also brings with it a sense of togetherness and family. Sometimes Thanksgiving is the only holiday where we can spend time with family members who live far away. And, to others, the holiday means football and naps.
