Smiling is a natural part of what you do, but also a part of who you are, so much so that sometimes we forget all that it can reveal about your health. And it truly says A LOT, offering clues about your personal health, both positive and negative.
Smiling is such a part of your everyday life that you probably don’t even realize you’re doing it. In fact, adults smile over twenty times per day, and children smile upwards of four hundred times per day. That’s a lot of smiling, and a lot of clues for people to decipher more about you, your mental health, and your reactions to the world around you. (1)
Just as smiling is important in revealing clues about your mental and physical health, so is not smiling. Well, we have some good news: it’s never been easier to SMILE with STRONGER and BRIGHTER teeth you’ll be proud to show off all spring long!
In this blog we talk about your smile, and what it says about your mental, physical, and emotional health!

Though you may not realize it, a smile is way more than just a facial expression. In fact, a smile reveals tons about your mental and physical health, as well as your preferences and feelings about yourself. Even your emotions can be revealed through your smile in ways you may not have previously thought.
For example, simply smiling shows people that you are confident. As a matter of fact, smiling more frequently can be a sign that you contain a good deal of self-esteem. On the flipside, someone who doesn’t smile enough probably suffers from low self-esteem, and may feel low about their mind, body, and how others perceive them. (2)
Perhaps the greatest reason people don’t smile, though, is because they feel some level of self-consciousness about their teeth. Unfortunately, these problems related to how one views their oral health can turn into deeper and far more complicated issues, as well as cause negative feelings about themselves and the world around them. (3)
Believe it or not, your smile also says a lot about your work ethic, and how you feel about your efficiency. When you smile at work, people see someone who is approachable and enjoying their time. They’ll even see you as smarter and more readily able to accept new tasks and complications. (5)
A smile also shows others that you’re warm and accepting, which can help them feel more comfortable around you, causing them to smile too. They’ll probably also talk to you more, as oftentimes a smile shows others you are truthful and able to be confided in. (5)
Smiling is also related to your immune system. More frequent smiles means a greater defense against germs, which is obvious on the flipside too. I mean, who smiles when they’re feeling under the weather?! Furthermore, smiling can show people you’re more relaxed and less stressed by life, which can make you feel healthier in the short and long term. (6)
As revealing a big, bright smile can be, the absence of one can be significant to you and your health too. Even a small smile can alert people that you’re not quite open, or that you might be capable of being mysterious or conniving. Even when it’s not so negative like this, a parted smile can indicate that you might be hiding how you’re really feeling, or repressing inner emotions.
Random or unnatural smiles can also indicate you’re experiencing a high degree of tension in the moment, much like how people blurt out in laughter at inopportune times. Although this isn’t too indicative of a physical health problem, an unnatural smile can mean you’re not feeling completely yourself at the moment. (7)
A smile can also show others that your present situation isn’t bothering you. It can show them you’re experiencing healthy levels of endorphins (which your smile boosts you with), thus increasing the health of your brain and heart. With a smile others can't ignore, you’ll be giving off a general sense of satisfaction of a life well-lived. (8)

Smiling can also offer major clues as to your opinion of how you view your work. People smiling are artists, content with their productivity and work. Those smiling enjoy chemical boosts, such as neurotransmitters and neuropeptides, which can help you better handle difficulties you’re bound to encounter throughout the day.
A smile can also release awesome hormones that can help you manage the health of your heart, increasing your optimism and perspective on life. By not smiling, you’re allowing yourself to be more negatively impacted by stress you could be fighting by simply putting a smile on your face. (10)
By smiling, you’re also helping others. You probably already know smiling spreads to others, helping to show people you’re ready to make a connection. This can not only help increase the amount of people who want to be friends with you, but it also makes those relationships you do make stronger. (11)
