Your smile tells a story to others. If you’re smiling at someone you’ve never even met, the impression you’ll most likely give is that you’re an open and warm person that they might like to get to know. If you’re smiling at a friend or family member, you are showing them how happy you are to see them and be in their presence. When you smile during a job interview, you are likely to make your prospective employer feel comfortable with the idea of adding you into the work environment because of you pleasant demeanor. Teeth and gums are what people see when you smile at them. If your teeth are have damage or decay, or your gum tissues don’t frame their grin in an aesthetically pleasing manner, your smile can turn into a frown. Your Northbrook cosmetic dentist, Dr. Brent Engelberg, would like to have a little Friday fun by offering you three facts about smiling.
Smile! You’re Gorgeous
Smiling gives you a more attractive appearance. In fact, women can think of their smile as the ultimate beauty enhancer. Orbit Complete gum issued a survey which found that 69% of people rate a smile as a higher reason for attraction than makeup.
Smile without Even Trying
Smiles are as natural as can be. That’s why babies smile reflexively rather than learning how to smile. We are all born with the ability to smile which has been proven by research that found that blind newborn babies smile in spite of not having the ability to visually survey the people around them.
Smile to Calm Down
Smiles are stress relievers. You can go for a run, or take a Zumba class to get your endorphin fix, but if you’re low on energy, why not just smile? Even fake smiles can relieve your “happy hormones.” So if you’re feeling down, try smiling, and before long, it may transition from fake to felt because smiling makes you feel so good.
