Smile and Feel Happier

Wednesday, June 25, 2014

Did you know that turning that frown upside down and forcing yourself to smile can make you feel happier?

Sounds a little crazy but it seems to be true.

Paul Ekman, PhD, is a psychologist who is an expert in facial expressions taught himself to arrange his facial muscles into certain expressions. He was surprised to discover that he actually felt the emotions that matched the facial expression he was making.

To confirm his theory he did a study on college students and found that they felt happy when they smiled - fake smile or real smile!

What an easy way to make your day better - like they say "Fake it until you make it".

If you aren't smiling because you are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth then dental veneers are an easy way to give you the smile you've always wanted. Veneers can be used to make a crooked smile look nice and straight or to give discolored teeth a beautiful, natural looking white shade.
