    Brilliant smiles radiate joy, excitement, confidence, health and vitality. Your smile
    plays an important role in the happiness of your everyday life. Stop wishing for that
    perfect smile. We can restore crooked, cracked and chipped teeth strengthen and
    whiten teeth, close gaps without orthodontics
    -How does smiling help mental health?
    Smiling regularly helps to reduce stress levels, because of the neurotransmitters
    that the body releases when you smile. The body often releases endorphins,
    serotonin, and dopamine, which improve the mood and help to release negative
    emotions.
     How do we benefit from smiling socially?
    When you genuinely smile at people they feel more comfortable engaging you in a
    conversation. Smiling makes you more approachable and easier to talk to. It also
    signifies that you're interested in speaking with others. Another social benefit of
    smiling is the ability to convey pleasure, happiness or satisfaction
    How does smiling affect the brain?
     How does smiling affect the brain?
    Smiling activates tiny molecules in your brain that are designed to fend off stress.
    These molecules, called neuropeptides, facilitate communication between neurons in
    your brain. Also, when you smile, your brain releases dopamine, endorphins and
    serotonin. ... In other words, smiling truly is contagious

     How can smile affects your personality?


    A great, confident smile radiates warmth and allows people to feel at ease and
    makes a great first impression. A smile transmits confidence and,
    professionalism even if you're faking it. When you project a positive vibe, people
    assume you're friendlier, and have better leadership skills.
     Does smiling help anxiety?
    Smiling can have many health benefits as well as social and psychological
    advantages. Smiling reduces stress. Stress and anxiety can be ongoing
    challenges, but smiling more often helps the mind and body release stress naturally.

     How smiling can change your life?


    Think of smiling as a social activity. When people see you smiling, something in
    them (more specifically, mirror neurons in their brains) may resonate, making them
    feel happier. Then they will likely smile back, and you will—in turn—feel a bit happier

     What is the power of smiling?


    Smiling increases mood-enhancing hormones while decreasing stress-enhancing
    hormones, including cortisol, and adrenaline. It also reduces overall blood pressure.
    And because you typically smile when you're happy, the muscles used trigger your
    brain to produce more endorphins—the chemical that relieves pain and stress.
     Why is smiling important communication?
    The smile is the most universally recognized nonverbal signal. It has enormous
    power to diffuse tense situations, smoothen customer service, raise the level of
    teamwork, and communicate friendliness. A genuine smile can communicate
    pleasant emotions such as happiness, acceptance, and appreciation.
    7 Health Benefits of Smiling

    1. Improved Mood
    Smiling releases endorphins, which
    helps a person feel happier and more
    positive. A Scientific American
    study found that facial expressions,
    such as smiling, can improve one’s
    mood and increase positive thoughts.
    So, the next time you’re feeling a little
    blue, try smiling – it might make you
    feel better!
    2. Pain Relief
    Believe it or not, a good laugh relieves
    some body aches or pains. As
    mentioned above, laughing also
    triggers the release of endorphins –
    the body’s natural feel-good chemical.
    According to Mayo Clinic, laughter
    actually is the best medicine, as it
    allows the body to produce its own
    natural painkillers. So, get a good
    laugh in, because it’s healthy!
    3. Lower Blood Pressure
    Heart health is very important and
    laughing or smiling more can help
    lower your blood pressure. An article,
    published by The College of Family
    Physicians, says that the act of
    laughter can lead to an immediate
    increase in heart rate and oxygen
    consumption, followed by a period of
    muscle relaxation, decreased heart
    rate and lower blood pressure. Even
    the small amount helps reduce
    someone’s risk of developing heart
    disease.
    4. Stronger Immune System
    Did you know that laughing or smiling
    helps boost your body’s immune
    system? Well, it does! A WebMD
    study states that laughter, which often
    starts with a smile, increases immune
    cells and infection-fighting antibodies,
    which improves your resistance to
    illnesses.
    5. Stress Reliever
    That’s right, smiling or laughing
    activates and relieves your stress
    response. Studies where individuals
    had to face stressful situations while
    smiling were found to have lower heart
    rates compared to those who weren’t
    smiling.
    6. Better Relationships
    A study, completed by the U.S.
    National Library of Medicine, found
    that people who smile are usually
    identified as being more likable,
    compared to those who don’t smile. If
    you are a “likable” person, then you
    also have a better chance at building
    and maintaining relationships with
    people – which benefits you and your
    overall well-being.
    7. Younger Appearance
    While you might not actually decrease
    in age, smiling or laughing more often
    can give the illusion that you look
    younger than you are. A Psychology
    and Aging study showed that when a
    group looked at photos of happy faces,
    they guessed the age of the person in
    the photo as younger compared to
    photos of the same person with a
    neutral or angry expression. Go ahead
    and smile! You’re only embracing your
    youthful appearance.
    As you can see, smiling and laughter
    are very beneficial for your mind, body
    and overall well-being! Regardless of
    your mood, it’s okay to crack a smile or
    spit out a laugh. In fact, it’s healthy for
    you!
    Last but not least ,
    Smiling releases endorphins, which helps a person feel happier and more positive. A
    Scientific American study found that facial expressions, such as smiling, can
    improve one's mood and increase positive thoughts. So, the next time you're
    feeling a little blue, try smiling – it might make you feel better!
