Wayne State University in Michigan instituted an interesting research study in the past. Using baseball cards from present times back to the nineteenth century, the researchers made a compelling discovery while focusing on smiles. The quality of the baseball player’s grins turned out to be predictive of life span, relationship success, and upward career movement. Schaumburg cosmetic dentist, Dr. Brent Engelberg, has a prediction of his own: if you are unhappy with your teeth, he can help you make the changes you desire so that you can enjoy the benefits of a polished, well aligned, and gorgeous smile.
Oral and Overall Health
Your oral and overall health may be more related than you realize. Smiling frequently can reduce stress, (a big factor in high blood pressure). Regularly smiling can boost your immune system. Grinning regularly reduces marked endorphins that not only feel great, but even catalyze a natural pain killer within your physique. When many of the 5,000 muscles in your face are used to smile, you can actually exercise and lift your muscles for a more youthful appearance. Of course, you’re not likely to smile as freely when you don’t feel good about the way their teeth look. If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your smile, perhaps it’s time to consult with Dr. Engelberg about a cosmetic smile makeover.
Smile the Blues Away
This time of year can be difficult for people prone to depression. As the days grow shorter, sunshine is less available, and the stress of the holiday season takes its toll, you may feel less compelled to smile. However, smiling can actually help you shake off the blues. Even a forced series of smiles can change your mood, release endorphins, and lift your spirits. Smiling also brings about positivity amongst the people you interact with on a daily basis.
