Having a healthy smile is critical these days because it also promotes good general health! But our dentists understand that it's also crucial in today's high-profile world to have a beautiful smile that you feel proud of.
So if you've caught yourself hiding your smile lately in photos, or turning off your camera during Zoom meetings, read on to learn how cosmetic dentistry in Edina, MN, can not only repair and enhance your smile but also change your life!
Why Is a Beautiful Smile So Important?
Your smile directly relates to your confidence. If you feel good about the appearance of your grin, you'll share it more often without thinking twice about it, which makes you appear more confident, friendly, and approachable, and draws others to you. Conversely, if you don't like something about your smile, you'll begin to hide it, even if it's subconscious, which could impact how others see you.
Furthermore, studies show us that smiling actually releases feel-good chemicals in your brain––such as serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins––which not only improve your mood but also can lower your heart rate and blood pressure, helping you feel more relaxed. Endorphins are actually a natural reliever of pain, while serotonin acts as an anti-depressant and mood-lifter.
Not to mention that the old saying "When you smile, the world smiles with you" is true because smiles are indeed contagious. When you smile at someone else, they are inclined by their brain to smile back at you!
But what happens when you don't feel good about sharing your smile? If you'd like to make changes to your smile's appearance, there are plenty of options to do so with cosmetic dentistry, and many of the procedures may not be as time-consuming or as costly as you might think.
