Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. As many people purchase candy and sweets for their loved ones, why not give the special person in your life a gift that keeps on giving? Although candy and treats taste great, they can leave a lasting mark on your partner’s smile. Instead, give them a beautiful, healthy smile. Here are 4 Valentine’s Day dental gifts for the love of your life.
1. Electric Toothbrush
Manual toothbrushes are effective in removing food particles and plaque; however, many people rush through their oral hygiene routine. An electric toothbrush offers more brush strokes per minute for a better clean. Not only will their brushing routine be more effective, but many electric models offer certain features, like a pressure sensor to avoid a receding gum line. Whether your partner doesn’t brush long enough or pushes too hard, an electric toothbrush can be just what they need to preserve their natural smile.
2. Waterflosser
Besides brushing, flossing is equally important, but many people view it as a chore. With 50% of adults having gum disease, which is a leading cause of tooth loss, you can ensure your loved one maintains a complete smile with a waterflosser. As an alternative to traditional floss, a stream of water can clean the most hard-to-reach places, removing plaque and bacteria that can lead to infection. With gum health linked to general wellness, you can help them promote a healthy mouth and body.
3. Teeth Whitening
A bright white smile is attributed to youth, success, and confidence. If your loved one is embarrassed by stains or discoloration, you can boost their confidence with a professional whitening treatment. A cosmetic dentist can create the personalized plan they need to get their teeth up to 8 shades whiter. Their results can last for several months to many years with the right maintenance. You can’t put a price tag on the benefits that come with a bright, beautiful smile.
4. Invisalign
Bite and alignment problems can affect a person’s oral health, quality of life, and self-esteem. If your partner missed their chance for braces as a child or their teeth have moved a little over the years, you can help them achieve a straight, healthy smile with Invisalign. Clear aligners are worn over the teeth to gradually reposition them without having to worry about the appearance of brackets and wires. There isn’t any better time than now to start your loved one’s journey to a better smile.
Don’t waste money on a gift that offers short-term satisfaction. Invest in a gift that can last for a lifetime. You can give the love of your life a healthy smile they will be proud of.
