The great Tom Wilson once said: “A smile is happiness you’ll find right under your nose.” We couldn’t agree more! A confident smile doesn’t just make us look good, it releases hormones in our brains that make us feel good. Time and time again, scientists and psychologists are discovering more about the positive effects of smiling.

A Smile You Can Be Proud Of

A confident smile is one that doesn’t hide behind an outstretched hand or is covered by a nervous lip. When you let out an honest-to-goodness smile, your whole face will beam. Your eyes light up and your cheekbones rise. Your shoulders may even relax and the tension in your neck may ease up. Smiling does your whole body a world of good, and it’s important to do it every single day!

Factors That May Hold You Back

For some of us, smiling isn’t that easy. There are things holding us back from really being able to express our joy. This could be as simple as yellowed teeth and bad breath. Luckily, that’s usually fixed with a stellar oral health routine! Just ensure that you are brushing and flossing regularly, and don’t miss those regular dentist appointments. In other cases, the solution is less do-it-yourself. Those who suffer from crowded or chipped teeth may feel like they may never have a smile they can be proud of.
