Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. If you’re struggling on what to get that special someone in your life, consider a practical, oral-health conscious gift that’s dentist-approved. These are perfect for those who are considerate of their oral health and smile, as well as for those who just love practical gift-giving! Read on for four dental-friendly presents you can get your partner for Valentine’s Day.
Teeth Whitening
You may be surprised to see that teeth whitening would be a good gift idea for Valentine’s Day, but it really is! If you hear your partner talk about the appearance of their smile or get themselves down about dental discoloration, teeth whitening can help boost their confidence and enhance their already-beautiful grin. The treatment is fast, cost-effective, and with near-immediate results, they’ll be able to feel like their best self during your Valentine’s Day dinner!
A Box of Solid Chocolates
Sugar isn’t all bad for your teeth. In fact, solid chocolates melt away in the mouth and can be easily washed off the teeth with saliva. This means that the sugar in chocolate won’t linger and attract harmful oral bacteria that cause cavities to develop. A heart-shaped box of chocolate is a classic gift that your special someone is sure to enjoy!
Plants or Flowers
Alongside a heart-shaped box of chocolates, flowers are another classic Valentine’s Day gift. You can choose from a variety of pre-made bouquets or create your own with your loved one in mind to make it extra intentional. Or, if you’re more into the idea of the gift being something they can enjoy for longer than a week, getting a beautiful house plant is another great alternative.
A Spa Gift Card
There’s nothing more soothing and relaxing than a nice visit to the spa. The stress-relief provided by a massage, facial, or other service will help relax their body, including their jaw! If your loved one regularly grinds and clenches their teeth due to daily tension and stress, this gift could greatly benefit their oral and overall health and wellness!
