April 10, 2022Dr. K AshrafDental Health

The way a simple smile can elevate a person’s appearance and mood can be dramatic. Besides that smile has a significant impact on a person’s self-esteem and how they carry their persona.

However, dental flaws can lead people to be reluctant to smile. Thanks to evolving dental technology, you can have cosmetic dentistry. A dentist can perform procedures like dental cleanings and teeth whitening to bring a smile back on your face.

But before jumping into cosmetic dentistry, let’s understand how smiling affects your health.

How does smiling affect your health?

No one can deny that smiling uplifts the mood and spreads positivity. Not only mood boost, but smiling also helps your body release good hormones like cortisol and endorphins. These hormones, in turn, offer plenty of health benefits to a person. Some of these benefits can be listed as:

  • Reduce stress
  • Strengthen immune system
  • Reduce blood pressure
  • Elevates mood
  • Smiling is contagious spread joy to others around you
  • Smiling makes you presentable in a professional setting
  • Smiling reminds you to stay positive

Apart from all these benefits, people with smiles are more likable and courteous. These qualities help to build a pleasant personality altogether.

Get excited about having a great smile

Why is it necessary to have a great smile? A smile is one of the best features that define your personality.

Regular smiling practice can improve your overall health and bring you a more pleasant attitude in life.

Here are some of the key reasons you should get excited about having a great smile.

  • smiling makes you more confident
  • smiling helps alleviate the stresses of the day
  • smiling encourages a younger appearance
  • smiling helps with attractiveness
  • smiling helps to create a great first and lasting impression

You won’t believe it, but a smile is so contagious that even your own smile can consume you. That is why dentists always recommend smiling at yourself while looking into a mirror.

At-home tips: Apart from mirror smiling, you can also watch comic movies and challenge yourself to smile at any cost. All these acts can help you calm down and get rid of anxiety and negativity.

Adding to that, having attractive teeth and healthy gums can further boost your self-empowerment to a new level, encouraging you to put on a smile more often. For this reason, you need to maintain good oral hygiene. Moreover, you might have to visit your dentist when required.

Speaking to your dentist

As you know, having good oral health is an essential factor that affects your smiling capabilities.

Cosmetic dentistry is the medical practice that deals with dental cleanings, cleanings of gum and teeth ridge, and teeth whitening procedures. All these procedures are necessary for maintaining a healthy and sparkling set of teeth that you can proudly show off.

Furthermore, more sophisticated dental treatments like veneers, dental implants, dental caps, dental crowns, dental cleaning, and CEREC restorations are necessary to treat any oral deformities or disorders.

Smiling is undoubtedly beneficial for your health. On top of that, it also elevates your mood and adds adjectives like charming and welcoming to your personality. Hence, never hide your smile from the world.

Remember that a good smile comes from good oral health. So never compromise with your oral care. If required, do not hesitate to call Ashraf Dentistry.

Welcome Back

Life has been anything but normal this spring and we sincerely hope you and your family are in good health. We are happy to inform you that we are now able to once again provide dental care for you and your family. The Ministry of Health has lifted the restrictions placed back in March. While many things have changed since then, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your health and safety. Our office has always followed strict infection control standards and in order to keep us all protected during this pandemic and in the future, we have updated our protocols. When we see you at your next appointment, things will be a little different.

• We will ask some screening questions before your appointment and you’ll be asked those same questions again when you’re in the office.

• You may be asked to wait outside our office or in your car and call us when you arrive and then wait for a call back to let you know when you can enter the office.

• We have hand sanitizer that we will ask you to use when you enter the clinic. There are more dispensers around the office for you to use as needed. As well, you will be provided some gloves to wear. We recommend that you bring your own mask to wear prior to entering the clinic.

• Our waiting room will no longer offer magazines or children’s toys since those items are difficult to fully disinfect.

• Appointments will be spaced out to allow for physical distancing between patients. That might mean less flexibility for scheduling your appointment, but it will also reduce the number of patients in the reception area at any one time.

• You may be surprised that we’re wearing more protective gear – such as masks, face shields, gowns – than we normally do during your visit.

Rest assured, all these procedures are designed to create the safest environment for you, other patients and our team. We have undergone some renovations during this time. All operatory suites have been fully enclosed with glass windows and doors. This will ensure that all aerosols will be contained in the operatory. Prior to COVID-19, we had already installed Hepa filtration systems in all operatories and waiting areas. These systems are from Surgically Clean Air.

We look forward to seeing you again. If you have any questions, please let us know. To make an appointment, call our office at 519-725-9585 or email us at info@ashrafdentistry.ca.

Thank you for patience and loyalty throughout this ordeal. We value your trust and look forward to welcoming you back!

Sincerely,

Dr K Ashraf and the whole Dental Team.
