Running a successful dental practice is not easy, but it is only possible with the help and dedication of your dental staff.

Fortunately, thanking them is easy!

How? 

We have put together a list of 25 gift ideas to help you choose the best Christmas gifts for dental employees that demonstrate how much you genuinely care.

Let's get started . . . 

25 Christmas Gift Ideas for Dental Office Staff 

1. The Gift of Time

To make the calendar appear full, fill all appointments with made-up patients. Then, as a surprise, give your workers the afternoon off to finish their holiday shopping. Give each person a small amount of money for their shopping to sweeten the deal.

2. Sugar Cookies

The key to this one is making it custom. Take a secret poll to find out which holiday treats your team enjoys the most. Then, make plans to make their preferred cookie recipes and place them on platters to take home. By providing your team with a nice sweet treat, you'll save them the time they'd otherwise spend baking.

3. Customized Dental Shirts

Put their name and preferred color on a shirt. They will adore donning it at work or even on days off when they want to be reminded of their dream job.

4. Wall Office Decor 

Who wouldn't want personalized wall art as a gift, especially something as striking with a handcrafted design?

5. Scented Candles

Your team will love having their house smell festive and cozy.

6. Coffee Lover Gift Set

Coffee may stain the teeth, but dental staff drink it too. Give them a gift set perfect for anyone who enjoys hot coffee mugs to improve their mornings.

7. Washable Medical Shoes

Washable medical shoes are designed to survive repeated washing and extended use. Practical shoes are probably at the top of your DA's wish list. They may make the difference between a successful and a bad workday. They might also protect against foot-related issues.

8. Custom Dental Name Tag 

With this stylish yet practical name tag, you can express your gratitude for all that your dental team does.

9. Personalized DA Keychain 

This keychain can add a little sparkle to a Dental Assistant's life. It features their name and can come with the color of your choice.

10. Dental Tote Bag 

This particular tote bag is all about choice. Everyone will know who the bag belongs to because you can choose the bow color, bag style, and customization!

11. Dental Decals

This unusual gift is affordable to buy for friends or coworkers. They can use it to adorn their laptop, vehicle, or tumbler. Additionally, it is individualized and can include a tooth or any design.

12. Group Mani-Pedi 

Consider closing the business early and giving your dental team some time off. A few days before the holiday, take them to a nearby salon for manicures and pedicures. 

13. Customized Mug

Nothing captures the spirit of the holidays like drinking your preferred hot beverage from a festive mug. Add some hot tea or cocoa to the surprise to make it more enjoyable!

14. Personalized Stainless Tumbler 

What's better than giving a gift with a personal touch? Many dental professionals require their coffee kick! This custom tumbler will make them feel very valued. It is convenient to use while traveling and makes a beautiful appreciation gift.

15. Tooth Car Air Freshener 

A tooth-shaped air freshener is bound to make dental professionals laugh. It will also make their car smell fantastic. This is an excellent way to express your gratitude.

16. Face Mask with Dental Designs

A face mask is a requirement at the dentist's office. Why not provide your team identical face masks with dentist-themed designs like a smiling tooth or images of friendly-looking dental tools? Matching facemasks offer your staff a professional, uniform appearance. Ensure that the product you select is of a medical grade, and purchase several as spares.

17. Dark & Milk Chocolate Covered Strawberries 

With this combination of dark and milk chocolate-covered strawberries, those with a sweet tooth can indulge in chocolatey delight. 

18. Tooth-Shaped Planters 

Provide the ideal spot for their mini succulents and herbs with tooth-shaped pots. They work well for holding miniature plants but can also store office supplies like pens and pencils.

19. Bonus Vacation Day

Who wouldn't appreciate spending a day off each year with friends, family, or travel?

20. Team Dinner 

Invite your staff and their guests out for the evening! Like buffets, this will be a big hit at a traditional restaurant or somewhere exciting!

21. Event Tickets

What events are nearby? Visit sports, musicals, or ice rinks as a group.

22. Warm Scarf

Scarves are a terrific way for your team to stay warm in style, whether festive, fashionable, or both.

23. Matching Ugly Sweaters 

A holiday party wouldn't be the same without a contest for the ugliest sweater. Whether buying from a store or hand-knit, these sweaters are cozy and cheerful.

24. Handwritten Note

It is not necessary to give a costly gift. Simply thanking a dental assistant will go a long way. What you write is entirely up to you and, of course, will be determined by the nature of your relationship. You can thank them for their efforts by sending them Christmas greetings or a personal letter.

25. Gift Basket

The final fantastic idea on our list is straightforward, considerate, and ideal for any dental worker. Create a gift basket with each of your employee's favorite items, or choose something else. You have countless options. Add a cellophane bag and a beautiful silver ribbon to complete the gift.
