There’s an interesting theory that people can make themselves & 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, & makes them want to smile too???

Of course you haveto be confident in the condition of your teeth & gums to feel secure about your smile, and where you can make some dental resolutions even before the New Year!

Here are a few simple ideas!

1. I will be more careful what I put in my mouth- from staining foods, tobacco & other unhealthy options, to the pens that I chew on while stressed at work!

2. I will brush my teeth (for at least 2 minutes) twice a day, no matter how rushed I am!

3. I will visit my dentist for a through cleaning & exam every 6 months!

4. I will take pride in my smile & share it with as many people as possible!
