The world always looks brighter from behind a smile. 

Smiling is good for you. Not only can it put others at ease, it can also do the same for you. The reason is that when you smile your brain produces endorphins which are like drugs that help with physical and emotional pain and stress. A smile can even help produce a feeling of well-being and composure. Scientists have discovered that your body has to work harder and use more muscles to frown than it does to smile. Babies learn a lot of behaviors and sounds from watching the people around them, but scientists believe that all babies are born with the ability, since even blind babies smile. UC-San Francisco researcher identified 19 types of smiles and put them into two categories: polite “social” smiles which engage fewer muscles, and sincere “felt” smiles that use more muscles on both sides of the face.

A key factor in having a beautiful smile, is having beautiful teeth. Keep your teeth clean and white. Visit your 1300SMILES dentist regularly for a good teeth cleaning. Not only do bright, shiny teeth look better, but keeping the teeth brushed and flossed is necessary for good health. If your teeth are dull or yellowish in appearance, you might want to try a whitening treatment. Home whiting treatments are available from many of our 1300SMILES practices.  Visit the dentist regularly for a good teeth cleaning. Maintaining good dental health not only keeps your smile in brilliant condition could prevent major damage later, or even root canal treatment. At home, you need to ensure that you brush and floss teeth regularly – that’s at least twice a day, or if you’re really keen on hygiene, after every meal.
