The Power Of A Smile

     I cannot tell you how many times a patient or acquaintance has said to me “I really don’t care about the looks of my teeth, just fix the cavities.”  Yet many of these people tend to hide their teeth by not smiling, looking away as they talk or putting their hand over their mouth.

     There is nothing that adds more beauty to a face than a smile.  Here are a few quotes about the value of a smile:

“A smile is a facelift that’s in everyone’s price range! “  Tom Wilson, American cartoonist.

“A smile is the light in your window that tells others that there is a caring, sharing, person inside.”  Dennis Waitley, American writer.

     Dale Carnegie, one of America’s great motivational speakers devotes an entire chapter in his book “How To Win Friends and Influence People” to the smile.  He states “Actions speak louder than words and a smile says, I like you”

     The importance of a youthful, healthy, bright smile cannot be overlooked or minimized. The first things people notice on a person’s face are the eyes followed by the mouth.   Look in a mirror and smile.  Is your smile saying I am a healthy,  confident, youthful person or is your smile yellow and cracked or worn?  Rejuvenating a smile is not a complicated, in many cases, as it would seem.  Contact a dentist, check out some websites and see what is possible.

     They say your eyes are the window to your soul , well I believe your smile is!
