Why Periodontist Recommend You Should Smile More




You may think your smile has no bearing on the rest of your life, but did you know that smiling and the health of your smile is linked to your overall success and happiness in life? The healthier your smile is the more you share your smile with the world and the happier you are overall in life.

Research has found individuals who do not love their smile tend to smile less, and they may even attempt to cover up their teeth by tucking in their lips. Smiling is a universal sign for individuals to know that others are happy about something, or are appreciative. Lack of smiling can create a barrier between individuals and decrease a person’s sense of belonging.

Smiling can help you to feel happy even if you are feeling down. The more you smile, the more you release endorphins that produce happiness. If you are feeling down about something in your life, Periodontist Dr. Denine Rice recommends you find some great friends that can help you smile or spend time doing things that automatically make you smile. It can turn your life around. While you may not feel happy all the time, the more often you smile, the quicker you will find things that make you happy, and then you'll spend less time thinking about the things that do not make you happy.
