As Valentine’s Day gets closer, you’ll naturally want to find a present for your partner. That’s fine – it’s good to honor the ones you love! Just be careful of what you get; you wouldn’t want your final pick to harm your sweetie’s smile. If you need help with that task, your Burleson dental practice can provide some pointers. Simply keep reading to learn about four dentist-approved Valentine’s Day gifts you should consider.
Some Fresh Fruit
Artificial sweets aren’t your only option for a tasty Valentine’s treat. If you value your loved one’s oral health, you can always give them fresh (and natural) fruits instead.
Many fruits won’t do any harm to one’s teeth or gums. For instance, crunchy ones like pears and apples would actually stimulate saliva production to clean out harmful bacteria. Others – especially strawberries, cherries, and grapes – have nutrients that strengthen enamel and gum tissue. All that said, try gifting your partner a fruit basket with smile-friendly arrangements.
Quality Dark Chocolate
It may sound surprising, but dark chocolate makes for a great, dentist-approved Valentine’s gift. This sweet shouldn’t cause damage to your partner’s mouth.
Ingredient usage is the key factor here. Unlike other kinds, dark chocolate only contains around 2 grams of sugar per serving. (Milk and white chocolates, in contrast, have between five and six grams.) That means it won’t put one at great risk of cavities or other oral issues. Rather, your lover can indulge in dark chocolate while keeping their grin safe.
A Bouquet
Of course, your choice of gift doesn’t have to be food. You could provide your peach with a pretty bouquet.
Note that flowers have always been a well-loved Valentine’s gift. Due to their variety and beauty, they can often reflect how you feel about a special person. Popular types like roses and daisies are even known to express romantic attitudes and sentiments. On top of that, flowers won’t cause problems for your heartthrob’s grin.
Massage Treatment
Some Valentine’s gifts aren’t just “fine” for smiles; they can actually improve your partner’s health. If you need proof, just look at a paid-for spa or massage treatment.
Time at a spa can do your darling a lot of good. In particular, the session could lower their stress levels and relax their muscles. Such effects would result in much better physical and emotional well-being. Best of all, these perks wouldn’t come at the cost of a healthy mouth.
