You Look Younger

Straight, beautiful teeth can make you appear younger and more attractive. The more you smile, the stronger the muscles in your face become. Rather than worrying about laugh lines, showing your dazzling grin more often can actually help rewind the clock!

Smiling Boosts Your Immune System

Studies show that laughing increases the number of white blood cells in the body, which helps you fight infection. When you smile, you often become more relaxed. This improves the efficiency of your immune system.

Increases Your Energy

The stress of the day can show on your face. Smiling initiates the release of mood-boosters like serotonin and dopamine, which act as natural antidepressants. Choosing to smile can be the major difference between feeling sluggish and feeling energetic.

Reduces Blood Pressure

Endorphins are polypeptides that are made by the pituitary gland and central nervous systems. They help manage stress and reduce feelings of pain. Cortisol, created in the adrenal glands, is also a primary stress hormone. Scientists at the University of Kansas found that smiling releases these substances into the system, reducing the body’s response to triggers and stressors.

More Success at Work

Sharing a confident smile extends positive feelings between two people and often puts others at ease. Studies show that people who smile are typically considered to be more likable, courteous and competent in the workplace. It also promotes feelings of satisfaction and happiness, so those who smile also tend to be more productive.

A bright smile carries a lot of power. It says you care about your appearance, but it also gives the impression that you are friendly and trustworthy. With the help of your cosmetic dentist in Mesa, your new and improved smile is ready for the world!
