Smiles Are Contagious!
Winter 2008
There's an interesting theory that people can make themselves and others feel happier by consciously forcing a smile. While it may not be a scientifically proven idea, the "science of smiling" does provide food for thought. After all, who can deny that a friendly smile cast in their direction lightens their mood, and makes them want to smile too?
Of course, you have to be confident in the condition of your teeth and gums to feel secure about your smile, and that's where you can make some dental resolutions for this year.
My 2009 Dental Resolutions:
- 1. I will be more careful of what I put in my mouth - from staining foods, sugary drinks, tobacco and other unhealthy options, to pens that I chew on.
- 2. I will brush my teeth at least twice a day for at least two minutes each time, no matter how tired or how rushed I am.
- 3. I will floss between my teeth every day to remove what my toothbrush can't reach.
- 4. I will visit my dentist at least every 6 months for a thorough cleaning.
- 5. I will check my dental insurance right now, and make sure I take advantage of all my benefits this year.
- 6. I will take pride in my dental health, and share my smile with as many people as possible!
