Researchers have discovered that people respond more positively to smiling people. Smile and look people in the eye and see how they respond to you. Your face relaxes and frown lines disappear. Smiling even activates the part of your brain that process sensory rewards. Each time you give or receive a smile, you feel as if you have been rewarded.
They also found evidence that periodontal disease effects how people smile. It may negatively affect peoples’ smiling habits and even discourage displaying positive emotions with a smile. It was also noted that the more symptoms found, such as loose or moving teeth, the more likely people covered their mouth when smiling or limiting how widely they opened their mouth.

When we feel happy our brains release endorphins. Which is a chemical that allows us to experience the feeling of happiness. It also helps to ease stress and lower anxiety. Smiling can also make our body produce more white blood cells, this means a stronger immune system and a tougher defense against illness.
So even if you don’t have a perfect nose, even if you feel you could lose a few pounds, or even if you aren’t as young as you used to be, putting a smile on your face adds instant attraction. Smiling is contagious. Research proves that just seeing another person smile triggers the spot in your brain that controls facial movement. Simply shooting a smile at someone else, you can share the benefits.
