The Many Benefits of Smiling

How Smiling Can Improve Your Health

By practicing excellent oral hygiene habits, you can maintain a healthy and beautiful smile for life. In addition to helping you look more youthful and attractive, research has shown that smiling can improve your mental and physical health.

Explore our guide to learn how you can benefit from smiling more often.

Reduce Your Stress

We all have stress in our lives, and everyone has different methods of finding relief. But according to research, a simple smile is all it takes to calm you down. Smiling when you’re stressed can lower your heart rate and decrease your anxiety, even if you’re faking it.

The next time you feel overwhelmed, try smiling and see how it helps.

Improve Your Mood

Smiling doesn’t just make you look happy — it makes you feel happy too. Every time you smile, chemicals called endorphins are released in your brain that help you feel positive and relaxed.

As a result, smiling can immediately improve your mood.

Boost Your Confidence

When you greet people with a friendly and confident smile, research shows they’ll find you more approachable as a result.

Smiling is Contagious

In addition to improving your own mood, smiling can lift the spirits of everyone you talk to. When you smile at someone, their brain analyzes your expression and automatically reflects it back at you.

This reflex is called facial mimicry and you can use it to spread happiness wherever you go.
