If you’ve known your dentist for a long time, or just happen to go there frequently, chances are you’ll buy them a gift for Christmas or another holiday. You may even have a dentist friend in your life that you’ll be exchanging with this year. If you’re short on ideas on the perfect holiday present for your dentist, read on for some suggestions.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Give a personalized pen. Between writing down appointments, filling out prescriptions and writing out checks, dentists will use this gift frequently. Since he has to use pens so often, it may as well be a beautiful pen that is personalized with his name and comes in a nice box.

  2. Step 2

    Consider giving a Christmas ornament. You can buy one that is in the shape of a tooth, and you may even have the option of personalizing it. It’s a cute little gift that the dentist will appreciate every year that it hangs on the tree, whether at her home or at the office.

  3. Step 3

    Buy a mug and mug warmer. After a long day of seeing patient after patient, sitting down with a nice cup of hot tea or coffee can be just what they need. However, disruptions sometimes happen, and before they have a chance to take a sip, his beverage is cold. If he places his mug on the warmer, it will stay hot for hours, even through the interruptions.

  4. Step 4

    Give a beautiful photo frame. While this may seem like a trivial present, it can be incredibly useful. Some dentists work long hours and don’t get a chance to see their family as much as they would like. They can put their favorite family picture in the photo frame and keep it right where they can see it all day long.

  5. Step 5

    Think about giving a tote bag. Many dentists take some of their work home with them, so they need a sturdy bag that won’t fall apart in order to transport their papers back and forth. A nice tote bag is not only useful for their work, but it’s also great to use on the weekend when they’re going shopping.

  6. Step 6

    Buy a gift basket of sugar-free cookies. Many dentists don’t just talk about the bad effects of eating too much sugar, they actually skip eating it themselves. Surprisingly, some sugar-free cookies are absolutely delicious. A gift basket full of them will be very much appreciated, especially when they need a little snack at work.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you're buying the cookies or any other food item, make sure that they're not allergic to anything first. There's no point in buying a food gift if your dentist is going to have to give it away to someone else that can eat it.
