Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. A day specifically dedicated to showing those you love how much you care—usually with sweets and treats galore. But don’t forget to show your teeth some TLC, too! Instead of showering yourself and the special people in your life with baked goods and candy, here are some ideas to show your love in other ways this Valentine’s Day.
Your Significant Other
Quality time together
- A massage
- Flowers (or a bacon bouquet)
- Perfume or cologne
- Dark chocolate covered strawberries (Bonus! Enjoy a little bit of sweetness with this “cheat.” Dark chocolate contains polyphenols—natural chemicals that can limit oral bacteria, and neutralize microorganisms that contribute to bad breath. Just remember, everything in moderation!)
Friends
- Boutique soap
- Framed photograph
- Coffee/travel mug
- Water bottle (Bonus! Staying hydrated is good for oral and overall health, and helps prevent dry mouth.)
- Bowling night
The Kids
Yourself
- Bubble bath
- Whiter smile (call us at 952-443-3368 to set up an appointment)
- Electric toothbrush (Bonus! It cleans teeth better than regular toothbrushes.)
Wishing you a happy Valentine’s Day, from all of us at Chanhassen Family Dentistry.
