During National Smile Month, which takes place every May, we want to emphasize the importance of maintaining a healthy smile and the positive effects it can have on your overall well-being.
Why a Healthy Smile Matters for Your Confidence
When you have a healthy smile, you’re more likely to feel confident and comfortable in social situations. Research has shown that people with healthy and attractive smiles are perceived as more friendly, intelligent, and trustworthy. A beautiful smile can help you make a great first impression, whether you’re going on a job interview or meeting someone new.
How to Maintain a Healthy Smile

- Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
