Psychologist Ann Demarais says: “When you smile, others are more likely to smile back and are more drawn to you, thereby increasing your confidence and happiness even more. Most people are not aware of how important a smile is in how perceive them or in how they feel about themselves.”   

Eat comfortably

Have you ever had to say no to any kind of food because of problems with your teeth? Do you constantly need to remove food lodged between your teeth with a toothpick or dental floss? Do your teeth hurt when you eat? Do you cover your mouth with your hand to hide a dental problem? This is not pleasant and you shouldn’t have to put up with it.
