Patients who opt for new teeth through dental implants, understand the physical benefits such as improved chewing, speech, and aesthetics. However, many are unaware of the mental health benefits that come with a new smile, including reduction in anxiety and depression. Indeed, turning your frown upside down is one of the simplest ways to boost your mood. Read on to discover the science behind smiles and the mental health advantages of teeth implants.
Smiling with Your New Teeth Promotes Well-being
Imagine it’s 7 A.M. on a Monday, and you’re struggling to wake up after a sleepless night. Without your morning coffee, facing the day ahead seems daunting. Yet, there’s a simple remedy to improve your mood: smiling for just 60 seconds. Whether you’ve benefited from the advantages of dental implants or you’re using your natural teeth, taking a moment to smile can significantly alleviate feelings of anxiety or depression. But how? Smiling deceives your brain into feeling happier, regardless of whether the smile is genuine or forced. According to NBC News, the brain processes the act of smiling and associates it with happiness. Very Well Mind reports that smiling releases neurotransmitters like neuropeptides, endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin, all of which contribute to feelings of happiness and reduced stress. Instead of reaching for that morning coffee, try smiling to naturally elevate your mood!Perceptions Altered by Smiling with New Teeth
