How Smiling Affects Your Mental Health

 
 

There’s no denying smiling makes you feel good, children smile and laugh all the time but as we age, we seem to smile less often.

When you smile your body releases endorphins, which have surprising health benefits such as boosting your immune system, reducing stress levels, relieving pain, reducing blood pressure, elevating your mood, and even making you live longer.

When you are embarrassed by your smile, it’s harder to build relationships with the people around you. Studies have also shown that people who smile more are more confident, sociable, and even more productive at work.

How we can help you smile more.

Teeth Straightening - Misaligned teeth can keep you from smiling and feeling good about yourself. They are also harder to clean, floss and care for. Poor oral hygiene often leads to gum disease, tooth decay and eventually tooth loss. Straightening your teeth will not only give you a beautiful healthy smile but also a huge boost in your self-confidence.

Teeth Whitening - Stained, dull and discoloured teeth can have a negative effect on your self-esteem. Whitening your teeth will enhance your appearance, make you look younger and feel better about yourself. The increase in your self-esteem will make you more approachable which will help you form new friendships, improve relationships, and be more successful at work.

Dental Implants - A missing tooth can have a very negative effect on your self-confidence. Dental Implants can completely transform the appearance of your smile by replacing the missing teeth and adding facial structure which gives a more youthful appearance.

Composite Veneers - Composite Veneers can make your teeth, bigger, whiter and even improve the appearance of crooked teeth. A healthy-looking bright smile will make you look younger, more attractive and more approachable.

Veneers - Veneers can drastically improve the appearance of discoloured, chipped and crooked teeth. They will instantly improve your appearance and boost your confidence.

Scale and Polish - A simple visit to the Dental Hygienist can give you just as much of a confidence boost as cosmetic dentistry procedures. Coffee, red wine or smoking are daily habits for many people which will stain and affect the appearance of your teeth. During a hygiene appointment, the dental hygienist will remove plaque, tartar and this staining too. Leaving you with a fresh, clean smile that you will want to show off.
