THE OLD LINE “it takes fewer muscles to smile than frown” isn’t actually true. It takes at least ten muscles to smile but as few as six to frown, so maybe the saying should be something like “you burn more calories when you smile than when you frown!” instead. 😁 And that’s not the only benefit!

Obviously, we smile when we’re happy, but evidence shows that the very act of smiling might make us feel happier. Smiling is so closely linked to the feeling of happiness in our brains that even a fake smile can release endorphins and make us feel better. 😌

Short-term, endorphins help to reduce pain and relieve stress because they function in a similar way to painkillers (except without the side effects). Over time, when we make a habit of smiling more, the effects compound into long-term health benefits like making us more resilient against illnesses and reducing our risk of getting cancer. The reason for this is that the better we manage our stress, the fewer stress-induced mutations our cells go through over the years.

Over the course of a lifetime of smiling, we might accrue enough health benefits to actually live longer. One way to make it easier to smile more is to be proud of the way our smiles look because we have healthy teeth and gums. For that, we need great dental health habits and regular professional dental care. 👍

The next staff member we would like to feature is one of our treatment coordinators Maddie! Maddie loves spending time with her husband Ethan, going on vacations and trying new foods. She takes time to recharge by sleeping and spending time outside. Some of her favorite things are sushi, cheesecake and Starbucks pink drink.
