Be Sure to Smile at Others on World Smile Day!
The first Friday of October is known as “World Smile Day”. This day is dedicated to smiling at others and spreading random acts of kindness to those you meet. During the pandemic our smiles were hidden behind masks, and more than ever smiling at each other is very meaningful.
Smiling is filled with many benefits, but if you are self-conscious about smiling because your teeth are less than perfect, make an appointment with Dr. Angela S. Evanson, DDS. She can help improve your teeth, which will give you more reasons to smile!
When You Smile, You Feel Confident and Spread Joy to Others
Chances are, if you feel good about how you look, you reflect that in your actions. Smiling is directly connected to your overall well-being, it increases your confidence, and makes you feel drawn to others.
It doesn’t require a lot of effort and its benefits are measurable; it is contagious. Smiling genuinely makes you feel happier, it boosts your immune system and even reduces stress! There are so many benefits to smiling, at least for World Smile Day, everyone should try to smile a little more!
Are You Self-Conscious About Your Smile?
Everyone doesn’t have a movie star smile, and some with a less-than-perfect smile may feel self-conscious.
If you have stained or jagged teeth or if you are missing one or more teeth, it can lower your desire to smile. It can also lead to covering your mouth or avoiding talking to other people altogether.
How Can You Improve Your Smile?
In our society, it seems that everyone has beautiful white teeth and a healthy-looking smile. If you don’t fit into that category, make an appointment with Dr. Evanson. She can consult with you regarding ways to improve your smile. Following are some basic steps for a beautiful smile:
- A beautiful smile is not just cosmetic. Research shows that poor oral health is linked to health conditions involving the brain, heart, and other diseases such as diabetes, and oral cancer. That alone should provide incentive to take care of your oral health.
- Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time you brush. Proper brushing with a soft bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste should not be underrated. Brushing your teeth helps to keep germs and plaque at bay.
- Flossing is important for removing debris that accumulates between your teeth and gums. Flossing helps remove plaque buildup where your toothbrush can’t reach, which typically leads to cavities.
Regular Dental Checkups are a Crucial Component to a Healthy Smile
Regular dental check-ups with Dr. Angela S. Evanson, DDS every six months will help improve your smile. Dental checkups usually involve a professional cleaning of your teeth and gums, along with an assessment of your overall oral health. Dr. Evanson offers a wide variety of dental services which can include teeth whitening, cosmetic solutions such as crowns, veneers or straightening.
Your smile reflects inner happiness, and if you devote the time and effort to your oral health your confidence will no doubt improve. Call Dr. Evanson for an appointment at (720) 409-0008 or contact her online.
Give Others a Reason to Smile
World Smile Day was established to look around us and give other people a reason to smile. When your smile says so much about who you are, it’s important that it looks the very best you have to offer.
Smiling at others has no limitations, and when you feel confident in your smile, you can spread joy on World Smile Day and every other day throughout the year.
