Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and for many single people it’s the worst day of the year. Having to watch other people flaunt their love with public displays of affection, restaurants raising prices for needy lovers looking for a place to celebrate, mothers calling wondering, “when will you finally find someone”. What is a single person to do? Well, if you’d like to make your mother happy and join the ranks of the love afflicted, you might want to smile more.

According to a national survey from the American Dental Association and Crest and Oral B, the smile outranked eyes, hair and the body as the most attractive physical feature. A warm, friendly smile shows you’re relaxed and comfortable, which means you’ll come across as confident and secure. Studies show that people who smile more are frequently seen as more attractive to the opposite sex.

Even the action of just smiling can boost your mood by stimulating the area of the brain that is active when you naturally smile. And as it turns out, people are attracted to happy confident people.

Wondering what you can do to make you more confident in your smile? Here is one of our past blogs that can give you tips on whitening your teeth. You should definitely visit your dentist. They will be able to give you the best tips and give you a smile you’ll be proud to share. Then maybe, you’ll be a part of those couples flaunting their PDA on Valentine’s Day.

But feel free to buy extra carrots and cut them in to sticks. They make excellent snacks.

Besides carrots natural toothbrush abilities, they are chock full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Two of which will help that smile remain bright. Keratin helps to fight plaque, while vitamin A helps to strengthen tooth enamel. This soup is very easy to make, comforting on a cool fall evening and will add to any thanksgiving table.
