Unique Dental Gifts for Father’s Day
September 1st is the day we recognise all of the wonderful Dads out there by wishing them a Happy Father’s Day.
In recognition of this special time, Forster Dental Centre wants to do our part to help you recognise your Dad with a great gift.
Don’t settle on another tie or BBQ equipment – instead, give your Dad a gift for his dental health!
Why?
Compared to women men are:
- Less likely to brush their teeth twice a day
- More likely to develop gum disease
- More likely to develop oral cancer
So do the right thing – go dental for Dad!
Here are our suggestions.
Water Flosser: If your Dad is stubborn about flossing, a water flosser can be a great gift. A water flosser uses water to remove plaque and tartar buildup between teeth.
Water flossers clear plaque and tartar from the smallest pits and grooves in the smile and from around dental restorations and appliances. Water flossers get a type of flossing back into Dad’s oral health routine that doesn’t hurt and isn’t difficult.
Electric Toothbrush: Another great dental tool to help your dad keep his mouth clean and smile gleaming.
Electric toothbrushes:
- Help prevent and reverse gingivitis for a healthier mouth.
- Stimulate gums and remove the maximum amount of plaque with less effort.
- Rechargeable, designed to give you triple-cleaning action.
- Are electric, which is pretty cool!
- Wraps around teeth to clean those hard-to-reach spots, making your Dad and Forster Dental Centre happy.
A DIY Mouthwash Holder: Many Dads like the thoughtfulness and handiwork involved in do-it-yourself gifts. You can be as creative as you want and support your Dad’s dental health with a DIY mouthwash dispenser.
The options here are endless, as a Google search will indicate. Mouthwash holders can be made from jars of any kind or fill his favourite drink bottle with his preferred mouthwash of choice. A quick search of Pinterest will reveal dozens of clever ways to make DIY liquid holders!

Teeth Whitening: Why not reverse some of the effects of aging, and give your dad a stunning smile for Father’s Day.
Teeth whitening is no longer just for celebrities; in fact, many people having their teeth whitened, particularly as they age. As he ages a variety of lifestyle factors can darken your Dad’s smile.
