Oral Health and a Healthy smile
Importance of Oral Health
Oral health is essential for overall well-being. It enables proper eating, speaking, talking and social confidence. It also prevents oral diseases such as tooth decay, gum disease, tooth wear and oral cancer. Poor oral health can lead to pain and tooth loss, as well as general medical health issues, including heart disease and diabetes.
Importance of a Healthy Smile
There’s been many studies over the years that have looked at the benefits of a healthy smile. A single smile can bring many advantages to us, some of which are below.
Attraction
Our smile is often the first feature noticed when we meet someone. Whether it is a professional or social meeting, we are often drawn to those people who are smiling.
Mood changing
When we are feeling down or not so good, a smile can lift our spirits and lighten our mood. A smile can help cheer up someone who is sad. It can also reassure someone who may be anxious.
Relieves stress
With our busy lifestyles, it’s all so easy to get stressed. Stress can often be easily recognised on someone’s face. Stress can affect our mental health as well as our physical health. It can make someone more susceptible to certain medial health conditions such as cardiovascular and diabetes. Smiling can be a simple way of relieving stress for yourself and others.
Boosts the immune system
Smiling relaxes us, and when we are relaxed, our immune system works better. This can help reduce our risks to other general medial health conditions
Lowers blood pressure
Blood pressure is reduced as a result of being more relaxed when smiling.
A natural pain reliever
When we smile, we release endorphins and serotonin which are natural pain relievers.
Appearance
Smiling lifts the face muscles which makes us look younger.
Confidence
People who smile look more confident. Showing confidence can contribute to success in professional life at work as well as in relationships in personal life.
So the next time you are feeling down or see someone else who is feeling down … SMILE … it will benefit you both !
