With a pandemic and the economic distress going on in the world, it may be difficult to find reasons to smile right now. But something as simple as a smile can have a powerful effect on you and others, especially during this time of the year. Here are some of the ways your smile can make Torrance and the world in general a better place.
Feel Better
You likely already know that smiling reflects happiness, but did you know that research suggests you’re happier when you smile? The act of smiling can actually give your mood a boost, which honestly we all could use right about now.
Spread Cheer
Studies have repeatedly shown that people tend to mimic the facial expressions of those they see. In other words, a smile is contagious! In addition, when a person is smiling, the people around them generally feel happier than if the person is frowning. Basically, by showing a genuine smile, you can literally spread joy this holiday season and into 2021!
Get Ready for Your Close Up
Even if you’re working or learning from home, it’s important to have a confident smile to show others. With video work meetings, Zoom book club, and family Facetime, you don’t want to feel self-conscious about the up-close view of your face because of your teeth. At minimum, you’ll need to keep up with a healthy oral routine every day and continue seeing us every six months for checkups and cleanings.
Start 2021 Right
Although this year has been full of challenges, let’s begin the new one with positivity and hope—with a smile. If you don’t like the appearance of your teeth, contact us at Blue Coast Dental, and we’ll help you regain confidence with a customized treatment plan.
From all of us, please have a wonderful holiday season and stay safe!
