LET\u2019S DO A QUICK EXPERIMENT<\/strong> right now! Look across the room and catch someone\u2019s eye. Now smile at that person. Did they smile back? We\u2019re guessing they did. Smiles are amazing in that way!\u00a0New studies show that your\u00a0smile is much more powerful<\/strong> than you think. <\/p>\n

Happiness <\/strong>(expressed through your smile) Is Contagious<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A recent UCSD\/Harvard\u00a0study<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0documented how happiness spreads through the interactions we have with others\u2014AND how it continues to spread beyond those we have direct contact with! You don\u2019t even need to be close friends or family to be influenced by someone else\u2019s happiness\u2014it\u2019s passed on to neighbors, coworkers, and friends of friends too. <\/p>\n

Smiles Spread More Than Frowns<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A North Dakota State University\u00a0smile study<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0concluded that smiles are way more likely to spread<\/strong> to others than frowns\u2014even though researchers assumed before the study that they would be equally contagious. <\/strong> In this crazy world, isn\u2019t it nice to know<\/strong> that positive vibes move more quickly and efficiently than negative vibes? <\/p>\n

It\u2019s Another Reason Your Smile Is So Important<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Here are a couple of the very best ways to unleash the powerful potential of YOUR smile to make the world a better place: <\/p>\n

    \n
  • Keep your smile healthy<\/strong>. Brush and floss every day, and be sure you\u2019re having regular checkups and professional cleanings.<\/li>\n
  • If there\u2019s something about your smile that\u2019s keeping you from sharing it often,<\/strong>\u00a0let\u2019s visit. Ask us<\/strong> about ways you can have the confidence to smile more. No need to be self-conscious. We can help.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
