Let’s face it: dads are difficult to shop for. Some dads like fishing, others like football, most like grilling—yet, when Christmas or Father’s Day rolls around, many are left completely stumped, unsure of what to buy for a man who seemingly has everything and needs nothing at all. Rather than settling for a gift card, collared shirt, or some nifty gadgets that will sit unused in the garage for years to come, why not buy him something that he will use every day? Teeth whitening is the perfect gift for your dad—or any other loved one for that matter. Here is what this treatment entails and why you should consider gifting it.
What is Teeth Whitening Like?
Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry services available, and although you could walk down an aisle at the grocery store and find many purchasable products that claim to whiten your teeth, research shows that these items all pale in comparison to having your teeth whitened by a specialist. The process is simple: advanced, safe-to-use peroxide-based bleaching agents destroy and remove surface stains from the enamel of your teeth, helping to restore the natural color. It is also a quick process that can be done in-office or even at home!
What is Teeth Whitening Used for?
As with other cosmetic dentistry solutions, teeth whitening is used to enhance your smile. It can resolve the staining caused by things like darkly colored or acidic foods, coffees, teas, wines, and more. Other things such as certain medication, daily wear and tear, and even genetics can cause your tooth enamel to come off or look dull. While it does depend on the type of discoloration, teeth whitening can provide significant improvement in most cases.
What Makes Teeth Whitening the Perfect Gift Idea?
Having your teeth whitened is something that will not only make you look good, but also make you feel good about yourself. When you give someone teeth whitening treatment, the recipient will only benefit from having a healthier and brighter smile—and a thoughtful gift is the best kind of gift. On top of that, it is affordable relative to other dental procedures, as it is one of the most commonly sought-after dental solutions.
Although there are many gift ideas out there, it is always nice to know that your money is being spent on something that the person will admire and use. With teeth whitening, you are telling your dad, or any other loved one, that you care about them and enjoy seeing their smile.
