Your smile is what
people notice when they first meet you, but if yours is less than appealing, it
may be time to consider a consultation with a qualified cosmetic dentist.
According to the
American Dental Association, your smile says a lot about you. It tells the
world that you are happy, confident, and appealing. In fact, recent research
indicates that a smiling face shows the world that you are straightforward and
sincere.
If you want to attend
more social events, boost your business profile, or add some romance to your
life, your smile could be the key.
Past President of the
American Academy of Periodontology, Pamela McClain DDS explains that, “When
someone has a big smile it shows they’re willing to open up and expose a part
of themselves.” Dr. McClain also goes on to explain, “Over the long term,
smiling can benefit your health, perception at work, social life and your
romantic status,”
People who smile
project positive outlooks and are generally more flexible and open. People who
smile a lot cope better when it comes to life’s challenges than people who don’t
smile and appear withdrawn.
A study that occurred
over a thirty-year period followed a small group of women who displayed happy
smiles in college yearbook pictures. Those same women went on to have strong
and happy marriages, were more confident, and had a greater sense of
well-being. In that same study, strangers looked at the same pictures and
reported their thoughts about each woman’s personality. The smiling women were
thought to be more competent and positive than the ones who did not smile.
Smiling really can
make a difference in your life, and if you would like to make changes to
improve your well-being why not schedule a no obligation consultation with a
good cosmetic dentist who can determine what cosmetic dental procedures would
be best for your particular needs. Call of click today.
