Smile Safe Favorites For Valentine’s Day!

Posted by

Valentine’s Day is all about love, which may cause you to wonder why the way we celebrate is often not so loving toward our smiles! True, it is quite lovely to indulge in a box of candies but did you ever wonder if there was some way to celebrate this holiday without going overboard on the sugar and other not-so-good-for-your-smile treats? As a matter of fact, we have some helpful suggestions that are safe for your smile health and festive. Whether you want to treat yourself or give a gift, we can help!

Red Or Pink (Sugarless) Gum

Go for the gum! It’s sweet, you can find it in red and pink varieties, and as long as it’s sugarless, it’s actually very good for your smile health. It freshens your breath, removes plaque and food, and increases your salivation (thereby further rinsing your mouth clean).

Fruits And Veggies: A Heartfelt Platter

Planning a special date? Perhaps your celebration is with your kiddos! Whoever you’re spending the holiday with, remember that you don’t have to entertain with candy and pastries. Don’t forget about all of the vibrant and beautifully hued fruits and veggies out there that will make an enjoyable snack. (Hint: Red fruits and veggies are high in vitamin C, the antioxidant lycopene, and more!). For instance:

  • Strawberries
  • Cherries
  • Red Apples
  • Red Grapes
  • Watermelon
  • Raspberries
  • Tomatoes
  • Red Bell Peppers
  • Radishes

A New Dental Hygiene Setup
