Your day always begins in the same manner. You look in the mirror and see your yellowed, dingy looking teeth. Right away, your mood darkens. What ever reason you might have to smile is now tempered by the fear that if you do smile, people will see your dingy teeth. What a lousy way to begin the day.
Many people deal with the same scenario everyday. What makes it worse is that others seem afraid to smile when they’re around you. That makes you feel even worse, because you’re really a happy, good-natured person. Unfortunately, your teeth have made you reluctant to smile. Is it really possible that your fear of smiling, because of your teeth, is causing you to feel worse than you should?
According to scientific studies, there is

Those with botox injections found that making a “frowning face” was difficult. As a result, those people were found to be a more happier, less anxious group.
Now that we’ve covered a few of the positive biological effects relating to smiling, let’s look at some of the ways that a smile can affect those around you.
Make a happier first impression
Wearing a smile on your face is an important step for making a good first impression. Your smile says that you are a happy, positive person.
Think about the people around you. Is it easier to approach a person wearing a smile, or someone whose face is constantly wearing a sad, angry, frowning face? A smiling face is a more attractive one. Attraction can be defined in many ways, but a person’s attractiveness is enhanced, whether they are happy or not, when their face is smiling. The same goes with yours. Wear a smile, and other people will find your more attractive, and more approachable.
When you smile, the world is a better

Throughout everyone’s lives either children and adults, brushing teeth is nessecary to maintain fine-white looking teeth. Yet many people who constantly brush when needed still fall short in achieving white, shiny, teeth even though they brush after every meal. This is due to stains from wines, acidic foods, or the coming of old age. Either one of these reasons could be responsible for why your white-shinny teeth become yellow.

In the article, Cunningham brings up many compelling points that help drive her argument on the reasons as to why women smile. One of the main points she touches on is the biological aspect of it. She relates it to monkeys and how they use a smile in their environment to show that they are not going to cause harm to anyone around them and that they are passive. This helps
The smile had become a standard in all advertisements by the 1800s. Cunningham gives an office scenario where a woman is asked to present a project she has been having trouble getting under control. Instead of shrieking she would respond with a very nervous smile. She also mentions the studies by psychologists, especially that of Paul Ekman. Dr. Ekman has identified 18 different types of smiles representing all the kinds of emotions. The Duchenne Smile, the smile that defines true happiness, is characterized by various micro expressions and the feelings can be understood through the eyes, which in the case of American women is not possible as their smile is not always or at all associated with their state of mind. The author talks about how being limited to one expression is like an orchestra with one instrument. Cunningham gives an office scenario where a woman is asked to present a project she has been having trouble getting under control. Instead of shrieking she would respond with a very nervous
A great smile is important to social and professional success.

Main Idea: Your physical expression and attitude can affect your mood. MSD: The act of maintaining a frown caused the students to feel angry. Those students induced to make a smiling face reported feeling happier and found cartoons more humourous. Half of the class felt different depending on what they were told to do.
There only one way of smiling and that is when you smile with the true.
The overall results collected by 257 students for each of the expression is roughly 2.8 for frown, 3.2 for neutral, and 3.9 for smile, each data at a statistically significant p-value of 0.001. This result disproves the norm of reciprocity theory in the hypothesis since a frown received a response closer to neutral.
After reading the blog by Leo Widrich, The Science of smiling: What happens to the brain when we smile, I learned that, "Smiling stimulates our brain's reward mechanisms in a way that even chocolate, a well-regarded pleasure-inducer, cannot match". This in itself would make many understand the benefits of smiling all of the time. It gives us rewards that benefit our lives. I also believe that smiling is like picking a Halloween costume for a party. You see, having a big, open smile makes you approachable, just like picking a Halloween costume such as Mickey Mouse. When you use your smile to be the first thing others notice, you seem more warm, open, welcoming,
One of my goals for this semester is to try to smile more during my sessions to show warmth. I think by showing warmth it will hopefully allow my client to open up more and they will feel more comfortable talking and sharing with me. I think by smiling it shows warmth, and it also shows the client that I want to be there and that I am engaged with what they have to say. My method of evaluation for this goal will be to review all my recorded sessions for the semester and watch my facial expressions regarding smiling and if I appear warm. By watching the recordings I will also be able to determine if my smile is portrayed as genuine or fake. I will also evaluate my goal by asking for feedback from peers, and ask them if they thought my facial
This morning I woke up and looked in the mirror and noticed that my teeth were not as white as I like them to be. I think to myself, I need to call and make an appointment to get my teeth whitened with my dentist. Teeth whitening is an example of Cosmetic Dentistry.

Cosmetic dentistry however focuses on improving a person’s teeth, smile, and mouth. General dentistry deals with what needs to be done whereas Cosmetic dentistry is
Previous researchers have concentrated on the effect of smiling on physical attractiveness. Reis, et al., (2010) conducted a research by using 15 males and 15 females neutral and smiling photos of each subject that served as a stimulus to 50 females and 50 males college students. Participants rated each photograph on 20 traits adjectives. An analysis of variance showed that people rated smiling profiles as more favorable than non-smiling profiles. Moreover,
A smile can symbolyze whether a person is just naturally happy or they hiding their sadness with a simple smile. For me, a smile is just a smile. Doesn't really matter what happened , you can smile anyways. Sure, you smile anytime you're actually happy, but you can also just force a smile, if it's to be polite or if your sad you want to smile so people won't think of you as a depressed person.
In the movie “Annie,” there is a song called “You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile.” The title hints that the song is about pairing everyday life with a smile. My mother used to remind my sister and I frequently to smile on our way out to the car to go to school. She would say something like, “Where’s your smile?” or “Are you going to wear your smile today?” As I look back, it seems ridiculous
One may ask the history of the smile. Wilson (2012) explained some biologists believe that the smile originated millions of years ago as a sign of fear; monkeys and apes, in an attempt to show predators that they were harmless – apparently the barely clenched teeth of this “fear grin” were meant to communicate this harmlessness
