Why Smile is Important?

Stephanie C (Actual Patient)

Many people are suffering from self pity and lack of confidence to smile because of crooked teeth; that is why they make an effort to fix it and make things better. But, why must they do it?

There have even been studies that indicate that it only takes three seconds to make a lasting impression of seeing someone.

Whether its an interview for a job, just socializing face to face or vitually, a recent perception study conducted by Kelton, proves that the alignment of the teeth causes assumptions concerning popularity, professional success ,and intelligence.

According to a conducted study by Kelton conducted January 2012, many Americans say teeth are distinct feature when it comes to what they notice and recall when first meeting someone; and two in five Americans would not go on a second date with someone who has crooked teeth and more than half believe someone with crooked teeth would be less likely to land a job when competing with someone who has a similar skill set and experience.

Dr. Michelle Callahan, renowned TV host, relationship expert, coach, and development psychologist said: “Whether we like it or not, we are often judged by our appearance”. “Your smile has more of an effect on what others perceive about you than you think.” 

A great smile makes a person more attractive,happy and intelligent. This is why many people go to the dentists not just to treat their unhealthy teeth, but also to boost their self esteem by fixing them and live a happier life than before.

A good smile can be one of your greatest assets. It’s a small and simple thing 

but it pays back in so many ways. Stand out in a crowd, be unforgettable, and best of all improve your overall health and appearance. Invest in your smile and have one more reason to keep smiling. Visit Simister Orthodontics today.

10 Common Dental Problems

10 Common Dental Problems
Having a great simile is what most people want to possess, a healthy smile boosts self-confidence and lifts up self-esteem. But, there are obstacles that you have to protect your smile from.
Bad Breath (Halitosis) 
is an oral health condition associated with dental problems such as tooth decay, bacteria on tongue, gum disease, etc.
Tooth Decay
Also known as dental caries or cavities, it occurs when plaque (a sticky film of bacteria that forms when you eat sugars or starch), is allowed to linger on teeth for a long period of time.  Plaque then produces acids that attack the tooth enamel, making it vulnerable.
Gum Disease
Infection of Gums surrounding the teeth that causes tooth loss in most adults. 

Mouth Sores
There are two types of sores: canker sores are non-virus based and caused by everything from stress to a hereditary predilection; and herpes, which is virus-based and contagious (through direct contact, like kissing, or sharing things like drinking glasses).
Yellow Teeth
this can be acquired from the food we eat, especially often intakes of red wine and coffee; but might also be natural.
Tooth Sensitivity
the root surface of the teeth can be permanently exposed if the gums recede, causing the sensitivity on cold and heat.
Wisdom Teeth
We’re are all going to have wisdom teeth, but our jaw may not handle extra teeth and will just erupt partly, causing bacteria to lurk into the soft tissue of the non-erupted part covering of the wisdom tooth.
Tooth Erosion
Tooth erosion is the loss of tooth structure and is caused by acid attacking the enamel. Exposure to acid, primarily from soda or citrus drinks, can wear down the surface of the teeth, making them rounded and discolored. 
Oral Cancer
An oral cancer may start with a small, pale, red, painless lump on some area of the mouth. A dentist can easily screen for the disease by examining and feeling around a patient's mouth, head, and neck.
