Why your smile is important

According to Psychology Today smiling, in addition to lifting your mood and the mood of others around you, can also make you appear more attractive to others.

Smiling regularly can reduce your anxiety in difficult social situations, boost your immune system, promote a surge of endorphins that make you feel good, and even keep your heart healthy and help you to live longer.

People who smile and appear confident have also been shown to be more successful in business so there are many reasons to ensure that you are confident in your smile.

How your smile can be improved

If you are worried about a damaged or discoloured tooth spoiling your smile, why not contact a dentist in Dublin or elsewhere such as http://www.docklandsdental.ie. Firms like this provide new dental crowns to restore the tooth’s appearance, with the whole process usually only requiring two visits.

Teeth that are stained or discoloured can be improved by the use of a special gel that is applied through the use of a home whitening system that can remove discolouration caused by tobacco, foods and other materials. Results are usually noticeable after as little as three days.

If it is the alignment rather than the colour of your teeth that makes you embarrassed to smile, this can also be treated. There are various options for straightening teeth, including a cosmetic braces system that only takes an average of six months to straighten teeth. This works by applying gentle pressure to the teeth that need moving. Minimal discomfort is involved, and the clear braces are hardly visible in use. People with front teeth (top or bottom) that have become crooked will be able to benefit from straightening with the Inman Aligner in an average of 12 to 16 weeks.

Whichever treatment you choose to improve your smile, you will be amazed at the difference it makes to your life.
