It’s hard not to notice the dazzling smiles displayed by celebrities, high-ranking politicians, business leaders and other successful people around the world. If you have ever thought those winning smiles played a role in the success of those people, you are not alone. Researchers have conducted many studies over the course of several decades, and concluded that smiles have a significant impact on people’s confidence, as well as the way that people judge them.

A groundbreaking study in 1970 suggested that people with charming smiles are thought of as more intelligent and happier. Several studies beginning in 2002 confirmed and expended on those findings. One of the most recent studies, performed in 2012, examined social media profile pictures of college freshmen, and found a strong co-relation between facial expressions, and reported life-satisfaction nearly four years later.

Perhaps the most remarkable smile survey to date was performed in 2010, with findings indicating that happy, smiling individuals may live longer. These are just a few more reasons to love your smile, take care of it, and use it often.

"I had been looking for a good dentist for years and Dr. Adams is an answer to my prayer! I could tell immediately that Dr. Adams is a skilled and talented practitioner by his feedback on the condition of my teeth and the high-tech equipment used in the office. It is apparent that he studied my x-rays, mouth impressions and did a thorough exam. I doubt if there is a better dentist in Sacramento or for miles around. The hygienist is first-rate. The best cleaning I’ve ever had. My teeth and gums will last forever as long as I can get my teeth cleaned by her! Everything in the office runs like a fine-tuned machine…minimal wait time [which is very important], courteous and respectful staff and the equipment new and clean. If you are looking for a dentist who cares, is friendly, doesn’t make you wait, and really knows how to make your teeth look great, don’t hesitate to go to Dr. Adams!"
