For some of us, Valentine’s Day can be a little anxiety-inducing; after all, if there’s a special someone in your life, you want to be sure that you’re giving them a gift they absolutely adore. That said, have you ever considered gifting your loved one something that won’t just bring a smile to their face, but also protect that very smile? Here are five dentist-approved gift ideas that are sure to show your partner just how much you care about them and their smile!
1. Fresh Fruit
Fruit is exponentially healthier than many of the traditional candies and sweets that are enjoyed during Valentine’s Day, and there are ways to make it a special and romantic gift. Plenty of companies offer edible arrangements for Valentine’s Day in the form of fruit baskets and trays of all shapes and sizes.
2. Dark Chocolate & Sugar-Free Candy
Dark chocolate contains much less sugar per serving than milk or white chocolate, making it a decent substitute if your loved one has a sweet tooth! And fortunately, there is no shortage of dark chocolate on store shelves this time of year! You might also consider sugar-free candy variants too.
3. A Spa or Massage Treatment
Your partner would be unwise to turn down the opportunity to enjoy a paid-for trip to the spa or a massage! Not only will this gift prevent oral health issues, as it won’t subject their teeth to anything out of the ordinary, but it’ll also benefit their overall physical and emotional well-being.
4. Flowers, Succulents, & Plants
Giving your loved one flowers, a dazzling succulent, or another type of beautiful plant they can care for will show them just how highly you value them. While these items don’t directly benefit their oral health, they will bring a smile to their face every time they look at them.
5. The Gift of a Brighter Smile
If your partner has been on the fence for a while about receiving cosmetic dentistry, you might consider giving them the gift of a brighter smile this Valentine’s Day! Your dentist can utilize state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to give them a set of pearly whites they won’t want to stop showing off.
