Chocolates, flowers, stuffed animals, watches, and ties are all common smash-hit Valentine’s Day gifts. However, if you want to wow your partner this year, you might need to go a less traditional route. In that case, why not try to give them dentist-approved gifts to keep their smile pristine and kissable?
If you don’t know what to get in that particular category, continue reading. You’ll find a great shortlist of gifts to keep your partner’s oral health strong and bright.
Chocolate Strawberries
Yes, it is one of the more traditional gifts, but it’s also much more tooth-friendly than straight candy. Chocolate, especially the dark variety, melts quickly and doesn’t stick to teeth. Combine this with a juicy strawberry that cleans your teeth as you eat and you’ve got yourself a dentist-approved treat!
A Water Flosser
Does your partner hate flossing or have challenges when trying to get between their teeth with the string? If so, a very thoughtful gift would be a water flosser. This helpful gadget uses gently pressurized water to remove plaque and debris from between teeth and along the gumline. It can also be very useful for loved ones with braces or dental bridges.
An Electric Toothbrush
Another upgrade to your partner’s oral hygiene could be an electric toothbrush. These devices are more effective at removing plaque and tartar compared to manual brushing, leading to a healthier smile overall. If you really want the best for your partner, look for features like built-in timers and pressure sensors.
A Teeth Whitening Kit
Give the gift of a brighter smile with a teeth whitening kit! Whether it’s a professional-grade package from their dentist or an over-the-counter option, a teeth whitening kit can help remove discoloration. This will leave your partner’s smile looking like a super model’s.
This Valentine’s Day, go above and beyond to give your partner something that not only brings joy but also promotes their oral health. With these dentist-approved gifts, you’ll not only show how much you care but also help your loved one keep a healthier and happier smile. If you need more recommendations, be sure to reach out to their dentist for some more personalized recommendadtions!
