Dental problems prevent you to smile

To a group of volunteers researchers showed photos of the people with beautiful, perfect teeth, and the others – how they would look with disorderly teeth. It turns out that people with broken, crooked teeth or a smile hiding toothless mouth, were evaluated worse. It appears that they were unpleasant, poor character’s persons, angry, unworthy of respect losers.

And how you imagine a happy man? Probably, the first thought that comes – wide open smile. This is not only because smiling we are expressing joy, satisfaction and other positive emotions. Scientists have shown that a smile helps to experience stronger positive feelings. And vice versa – the inability to smile inhibits the feeling of joy.

Teeth – it’s part of the face. And a very important part – a lot more significant than, for example, the nose. This is primarily due to the fact that the face – like a person’s business card, and in most cases we want it to be beautiful and attractive. In addition, the mouth is actively involved in both the verbal and not verbal communication: lips express your thoughts and emotions: kindness, sympathy, joy we show smiling, laughing. If we are forced to restrain the feelings we experience great tension and, of course, less joy. Another important aspect – nice teeth indicate that the person is healthy, and the health is associated with youth and beauty. Therefore, care of teeth is highly valued in Western culture. They are also associated with a high quality of life, well-being. Missing teeth or problematic teeth and its consequences – pain, bad breath – not only makes their holder to suffer, but also is associated with poor health, and what is unhealthy, for us is not attractive. The dental problems often prevent for people, especially matured, to smile and intense survive the joy – having unhealthy teeth or have lost, they just afraid to open mouth. That’s why we should better care about our teeth.
