Keeping your smile healthy
A clean healthy mouth feels good and helps us to smile with confidence. There is now increasing evidence linking gum disease with heart disease and strokes. It is also the main reason for loss of teeth and we take the treatment of gum disease very seriously.
Smiling... a basic human emotion
- A smile is a universal expression of happiness and is recognised as such by all cultures.
- It takes fewer muscles to smile than frown.
- Smiling releases endorphins and makes us feel better
- People are born with the ability to smile (they don’t copy the expression, even babies who are born blind, smile).
- A smiling person is judged to be more pleasant, attractive, sincere, sociable, and competent than a non-smiling person.
