So everything is set for this evening. Candle-lit dinner, flowers, choccies and champagne but are you mouth-ready to seal your romantic evening with a sweet kiss? Even with a family once the kids are in bed, it’s still a good reason to snuggle up and have a kiss to wind down. Don’t underestimate how powerful a kiss can be as it helps create or strengthen romantic affection and attachment. Here are some handy tips to add to your preparation or set your mind up for a close Valentine’s evening.
Be it your all important first kiss or you want to make it an extra passionate one today make sure you have fresh breath so it doesn’t ruin the mood. So make sure you have mouthwash to swig before you leave your house or have some sugar-free gum handy so you chew after your meals together. It might seem obvious but best to avoid strong foods like garlic and onions as the taste stays in your mouth for quite some time. Milk is the best remedy to help neutralise strong odours in your mouth but if you’re eating out, then order extra slices of lemon in a cup of hot water so it’s a bit more discreet.
Even though we’re all about teeth, we understand that everything in our body is all interconnected so having good oral health and hygiene will have a tangible impact on your self-esteem, relieve stress, reduce your blood pressure, boost immune system and increase sex drive. That’s plenty to smile about! So even after Valentine’s Day, do your partner (old or new) a favour by looking after your oral health to enjoy all the benefits of kissing. xxxx
