These days a beautiful smile doesn’t have to
cost you a fortune. In fact, thanks to 21st century modern dentistry
you can straighten your crooked teeth, whiten your stained teeth, or replace a
missing tooth. Cosmetic dentistry is something that everyone can afford and not
only helps your smile, but can also boost your self-confidence.
Your smile is the first thing that people
notice when you meet, and if you are tired of putting your hand in front of
your mouth when you speak or are constantly smiling with a closed mouth,
cosmetic dentistry can help.
Your dentist explains that a beautiful smile
makes you feel great, while discolored and crooked teeth will have the opposite
effect.
People who have misaligned, crooked, decayed,
or discolored teeth quite often avoid smiling while others who suffer from gum
disease and constant bad breath are afraid to speak to others and often shy
away from conversations or will look away when speaking.
If you are worried about your teeth and gums,
schedule an appointment with your dentist who can come up with a, “Smile,” plan
to help boost your self-confidence.
Your dentist explains that there really is a psychology
when it comes to smiling, which can help boost your mood as the response to
moving your facial muscles actually lets your brain know that it’s time to
release those endorphins and start feeling good.
Smiling really is contagious. When you smile,
people around you smile. If you expose a wide toothy genuine grin, others will
follow suit, while a fake smile will generate a fake smile in return.
Smiling makes you look younger while frowning
ages you. If you give a neutral expression, you are most probably looking your
age.
A smile can actually reduce conflict and make
other people feel more open and comfortable during a conversation. Smiling can also
make you more approachable.
Unfortunately, some people are just too
embarrassed to smile out of fear because of something that may have happened
when they were younger, or because they are truly ashamed of the way that their
teeth and gums appear.
If you are afraid to
smile because of your lackluster grin, schedule an appointment with your
dentist today who can determine the best cosmetic and restorative dental
procedures for your needs. Call or click today.
