It’s officially World Smile Day as deemed by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACA). Your Vernon Hills cosmetic dentist, Dr. Brent Engelberg, is proud to be in the business of smiles. Our team has worked with countless patients to help them achieve the smiles of their dreams. Your smile is important and should be celebrated. So in honor of that notion, we would like to share some fun facts about smiles.
A Smile is Easy to Recognize
Picture walking down a street and seeing someone come towards you. You may not realize it, but of all the possible facial expressions they might have, you would most quickly be able to recognize a smile. In fact, on average, people can discern smiles from as far as 300 feet away. It may make a difference as to which gender is approaching you, however, if you expect a friendly grin. Women tend to smile more than their male counterparts. And speaking of women, there’s great news for those who prefer a more natural appearance. Orbit Complete gum implemented a research study that showed 69% of people find women’s smiles to be a more attractive appearance enhancement than makeup.
Smiling Nuances
Are you up for a promotion at work? Research shows that not only do smiles make people appear more sociable, confident, and attractive, but they are also more likely to do well with their careers. Who would you rather hire – someone with a warm ear-to-ear grin, or someone with a dour and unfriendly frown? You begin smiling very early on in life (and we’re not referring to gas). Real, true, felt smiles from babies start at about four-to-six weeks. Smiles fall into two main categories: Polite and sincere. However, within these two broad bases are 19 different smile nuances.
