Healthy teeth are important for chewing food, requiring regular check-ups with a dentist. Your teeth are also important for an attractive smile, which can boost your self-confidence and mental well-being.
Key takeaways:
- When you smile you release endorphins, a feel-good compound which helps manage your stress.
- Someone who is confident in their smile is often more self-confident overall and smiles more.
- A warm and welcoming smile makes a better impression on those we meet.
“Research has shown that even faking a smile can release endorphins in the body, helping you feel happier. A smile can also signal a feeling of pride or accomplishment, or, of course, amusement!”
