The typical assorted chocolates and wine can be pretty rough on the teeth, which means what you could really be giving your partner is a future filled with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mylubbockdentist.com\/restorative-dentistry.html\">dental bills<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to give your spouse a gift that won\u2019t break their heart or their teeth, here are some ideas for dentist-approved Valentine\u2019s Day gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dark Chocolate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide started with the suggestion that chocolates weren\u2019t the best pick, so this entry may come as a bit of a surprise to you. However, solid dark chocolate in itself actually isn\u2019t that bad for your teeth. It\u2019s fairly low in sugar content and melty enough that it\u2019s not likely to linger in your partner\u2019s mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lots of people look forward to Valentine\u2019s chocolates all year round, and there\u2019s no reason to deprive them; just go for something with a little bit less sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spa Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people can get through a box of chocolate pretty quickly, and feel pretty terrible afterward. On the other hand, a spa visit can last all day, and afterward, your partner will feel refreshed and rejuvenated. Chocolates are often consumed on the couch or in bed, while a spa day is an experience that can be a nice change of pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;And if you go for a spa day, it can be something you do together with your partner, as opposed to eating alone. That can be a sneaky way to get yourself something nice, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Something Personal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your partner is a little more sentimental, it might be a good idea to get them something personal, maybe having to do with your relationship. For example, you might get them something that reminds them of the first Valentine\u2019s Day you spent together. Even something a little tacky can be a sweet gesture, with the right context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, there\u2019s no need to lean on a box of chocolate to give your partner something they\u2019d love. If anything, your originality will make them appreciate the gift all the more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Kevin Shively became a dentist for one reason: to help people!
