The emotional effects of a smile

Smiling is an emotional reaction, it naturally reflects our feelings of joy, happiness, contentment, and love. Smiling at another person can also elicit the same response and feeling from them, too, giving them a little lift that they might just need in that moment. It’s little surprise then, that if someone feels conscious about the appearance of their smile it can cause negative emotions to surface such as worry, concern, and general discontentment.

People who feel they have to cover their smile, or avoid smiling altogether, can often begin to withdraw from social situations, becoming increasingly introverted. Often, this may even impact on careers too, anxiety around appearance can sometime lead people to shy away from putting themselves forward, preventing them from getting ahead in the workplace. Essentially, stopping yourself from smiling can lead to unhappiness and insecurity and at Mouth Matters we believe that no one should have to feel this way.
