While they might be tasty, they can wreak havoc on your loved one\u2019s teeth. This year, consider giving them some tooth-friendly Valentine\u2019s Day gifts that your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomthedentist.com\/contact-us.html\">Weatherford dentist<\/a> recommends to keep their teeth and heart happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Five Dental Friendly Valentine\u2019s Day Gift Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving gifts of chocolate and other various sweet candies has long been a Valentine\u2019s Day tradition, but here are a few other options that you can give your Valentine to keep things fresh and protect their oral health:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solid Dark Chocolate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be thinking \u201cwait, I thought candy was a bad idea?\u201d Dark chocolate contains around 2 grams of sugar, as opposed to its milk and white chocolate counterparts that have between five and six grams per serving. If your loved one is a \u201cchoco-holic,\u201d don\u2019t deprive them this Valentine\u2019s Day. Try dark chocolate to ease the craving and be kinder to their teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Gift Card for Spa Treatment or a Massage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are very few people who would turn down the opportunity to enjoy a paid-for spa or massage treatment. Not only will this gift help your valentine avoid oral issues, but it will benefit their overall physical and emotional well-being as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Brighter Smile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Studies show that an alarming 80% of Americans wish they had whiter teeth. If your partner is among these millions, then what better gift to give them than the confidence that comes with professional teeth whitening? Your dentist uses state-of-the-art products and procedures that have proven track records to produce successful and lasting results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fruit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Plenty of companies offer Valentine\u2019s arrangements in the form of fruit baskets and trays. If your sweetie has a \u201csweet tooth,\u201d consider fruit as an alternative to candy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plants or Flowers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What better way to say, \u201cI love you\u201d than with a gift that keeps on giving? Instead of candy, give your valentine some beautiful flowers or a plant they can care for. That way, each day when they see them, they\u2019ll be reminded of your thoughtfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Valentine\u2019s Day, get creative with the gifts you get your significant other so that you can take care of their heart and their teeth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re searching for a dentist who will care for you like you\u2019re family as well as prioritize your dental health, then look no further than the private practice of Dr. Thomas J.
