Happy Valentine’s Day!

Whether you love the excuse to get dressed up and go out for a date night, or hate the “Hallmark” holiday … this year, celebrate love AND be good to your teeth …

While you may not think Valentine’s – often celebrated with big romantic gestures, gift giving, and indulging in sweet treats – seems like a good day for your oral health … think again!

Enjoy Chocolate. Unlike most sugary candies that cause cavities, dark chocolate can actually help to protect your teeth! Thanks to its low sugar content – dark chocolate contains a 60% or more of cocoa solids, little or no added sugar, and the element theobromine, which has been proven to harden enamel – you can enjoy your Valentine’s Day treats without worrying about damaging your teeth.

Get Smoochable Breath. After enjoying a romantic meal, munching on a piece of sugar-free gum will ensure your breath is fresh! Chewing sugar-free gum for approximately 20 minutes post-meal stimulates the production of saliva which helps to wash away leftover food particles that cause bad breath creating bacteria, and eventually leads to tooth decay.

Give the Gift of a Beautiful Smile. This year, skip the traditional Valentine’s gift – who really needs or wants another stuffed animal or piece of jewelry? Instead, give yourself or your special someone the gift of a beautiful smile! Visit us at Roselle Park Dental for a cleaning, whitening, or even a smile simulation, where we’ll work from an image of your teeth to create a picture of what your best smile can look like using cutting edge technology.

From all of us at Roselle Park Dental, have a Happy and Healthy Valentine’s Day!
