When You're Smiling...

“Look! He’s smiling!” It’s the moment for which every proud new mama or papa waits. But why? What is so intrinsically exciting about a baby grinning?

Well, let’s think about it from a purely social standpoint. Who are you more likely to want to speak or simply “hang out” with? Someone who is beaming from ear to ear or someone whose face registers discomfort, disgust, haughtiness or sourness? In most cases, it’s the former.

Yet for many adults, it’s nearly impossible to smile without worrying or feeling unattractive. Perhaps they have dark or missing teeth; maybe their teeth are chipped or “striped” from using the wrong type of tooth whitening product. Regardless of the reason, they may want to engage in the friendly act of grinning, but they are literally being held hostage by what they consider to be an unflattering smile.
