In the enchanted land of Storybook Smiles, Cupid the Caring Tooth Elf has a very important mission every February: to make sure every little hero has strong, healthy teeth ready to sparkle for Valentine’s Day! 

Cupid knows that hearts aren’t the only things that need love—teeth do too! Follow his magical checklist to keep your child’s smile happy, healthy, and cavity-free this Valentine’s season.

1. Fill the Plate with Smile-Powering Foods 

Cupid’s first rule: Nutrition is magic for teeth! Foods rich in vitamins and minerals keep enamel strong and gums healthy. Include:

• Crunchy fruits & vegetables – apples, carrots, celery
• Dairy delights – cheese, yogurt, milk
• Lean proteins – eggs, chicken, fish
• Nuts & seeds – a sprinkle of magic minerals

2. Sweet Treats Are Fun, But in Moderation 

Even in Storybook Smiles, Valentine’s Day comes with sweets! The trick is to limit sugary snacks and enjoy them strategically:

• Serve sweets after meals rather than between meals
• Choose chocolate over sticky candies that cling to teeth
• Keep portions small so the Cavity Creeper doesn’t have a chance

3. Brush and Floss Like a Valentine Hero 

Cupid reminds all little heroes: brush twice a day and floss once daily. Make it exciting:

• Use a fun toothbrush with favorite characters
• Play a 2-minute Valentine’s song while brushing
• Reward consistency with a storybook sticker or small treasure

4. Rinse and Sip for Magical Teeth 

Water is Cupid’s secret potion! Drinking plenty of water helps wash away sugars and keeps teeth sparkling. Encourage your child to sip water throughout the day—especially after sweets.

5. Visit the Castle of Smiles Regularly 

Even brave heroes need help sometimes! Regular dental visits with Dr. Ronald Hsu and the Storybook Dental team ensure teeth are strong, gums are healthy, and any sneaky Cavity Creepers are stopped in their tracks.

A Valentine’s Day Full of Smiles 

With Cupid’s checklist in hand, your child can enjoy Valentine’s Day treats while keeping their teeth strong and cavity-free. Heart-healthy smiles make every storybook adventure even more magical!
