But we also care about your dental health, and as far as special days go, Valentine’s Day is as bad for teeth as Halloween and Easter can be.
And we also want any romantic encounters you might have planned to go well.
From a dental perspective, that means bad breath cannot be involved!
So, here, today, we’ve compiled all the advice we can think of to keep your mouth and teeth healthy during Valentine’s Day and to make sure that if you have a date, it isn’t derailed by bad breath.
Get those smackable lips! Smooth, soft lips are the most inviting to kiss. Exfoliate your lips with a lip scrub. Or brush your lips lightly with a soft bristle toothbrush every night before you head to bed.
And on Valentine’s Day, a lip balm or gloss with an attractive smell is always a good choice!
Visit West Ryde Dental for cleaning and whitening. White, clean teeth make you even more attractive, even more kissable. And West Ryde Dental Clinic can help you get them.
We offer in chair Phillips Zoom! Whitening, which lightens and brightens the colour of your teeth with hydrogen peroxide gel and an ultraviolet lamp.
Zoom in-chair whitening is effective and safe, clinically proven to whiten your dull smile up to eight shades and the procedure can be performed in less than an hour.
A good cleaning (and possibly scale) also makes your mouth more kissable by removing bacteria, plaque, and tartar, making teeth smoother and breath fresher!
Valentine’s Day is about romance, hearts, cards, and Cupid. But it is also really, really about candy! People of all ages give and receive a variety of sweet treats on Valentine’s Day. But how can you keep your teeth safe when they’re surrounded in sticky residue?
It’s not realistic to tell you to avoid candy altogether, but candy in moderation is the best approach if you can’t resist a candy heart or two. Even then, you should rinse your mouth with water to wash away the sweet particles left behind.
If you really want to avoid cavities and gum disease, then you’ll want to think outside the heart-shaped box on Valentine’s Day. Skip the sugary, sticky candy hearts and caramel-filled chocolates (we will reluctantly agree that chocolate, and particularly dark chocolate, is a pretty safe candy choice) and give non-edible Valentine’s Day gifts.
One Valentine’s Day tradition is dinner with your loved one. And you don’t want that dinner marred by bad breath. Here is a step-by-step set of instructions for a Valentine’s Day that deserves a kiss!
