Taking care of your dental health as a couple not only improves your smile but also has a positive impact on your overall well-being. When you do it together, you strengthen both your relationship and your health. A study from the University of Queensland revealed that emotionally connected couples maintain better dental health habits. Why? When you feel supported and happy with your partner, you're more motivated to take care of yourself.

Benefits of taking care of your dental health together

• Strengthens your bond: Caring for your oral health together shows that you genuinely care for each other.

• Mutual motivation: Sharing a dental hygiene routine reinforces your commitment to overall well-being.

• Support during treatments: Accompanying each other through treatments like orthodontics or teeth whitening makes the process easier and less stressful.

Tips from Dr. Elva Rasshel Laguna San Miguel for improving dental health as a couple

• Schedule dentist appointments together to build trust in your relationship.

• Maintain a shared oral care routine to spend quality time together.

•  Gifting a dental hygiene kit or a special toothbrush is a thoughtful and caring gesture.

• Support your partner through any dental treatment.

• Never share your toothbrush! While sharing healthy habits is essential, toothbrushes can accumulate bacteria and spread infections. It's crucial that each person has their own.
