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.

You’ve just come home from the dentist’s office after having your teeth whitened—you smile into the bathroom mirror and can’t look away! Your teeth are dazzling, with no signs of coffee staining anywhere; but how did your dentist perform this magic transformation in such a short period of time? In-office teeth whitening hasn’t always been such a quick and straightforward process—there is no magic wand involved, but rather, an interesting history riddled with trial-and-error that has gradually transformed teeth whitening into what it is today.
