at Riverside Dental Group can’t recommend consumption of chocolate for your dental health (dental or otherwise) but would certainly like you to consider smiling more often.
Smiling Research
Several university studies have taken a look at the quality-of-life advantages of freely smiling. Wayne State University used baseball cards to predict longevity and relationship success based on the quality of the athlete’s smiles. UC Berkeley researchers turned to yearbook photos to track well-being and success. The more wide and natural these Berkeley alumni smiled, the more success they tended to report in romance and careers. The aforementioned United Kingdom research comparing smiles to chocolate also found grinning lowered blood pressure and reduced stress hormones. Surprisingly, the smile doesn’t even have to come from a genuine place to have positive endorphin releasing effects.
Building Confidence through Smiling
There is no denying that confident smiles enhance your quality of life. Unfortunately, if you don’t like the way your teeth look, you’re likely to deprive yourself of the joy of smiling. If this is truly detrimental to your health and success in life, you deserve the opportunity for positive changes which will have you grinning from ear-to-ear. We offer multiple cosmetic dental procedures designed to provide smile pride. Some of the most common cosmetic treatments include porcelain veneers, dental bonding, and teeth whitening.
