2024 is here! Did you make any resolutions to be more fit or healthy? If you did, you’re not alone. 60% of Americans just kicked off this new year by making one or more resolutions.
Making resolutions is the easy part. Fulfilling them is more difficult. In fact studies confirm that only about 8% of us will actually achieve our resolutions.
So, what’s an easy resolution that will help you look and feel better, and healthier this year? Smiling more! It’s one of the best things you can do for your health + science confirms the benefits of a smile. But what if you’re uncomfortable sharing your smile because you’re self-conscious about your teeth?
Many of us will go to the extremes to hide our smiles. One study states that 57% of Americans cover their mouths when they laugh, because they’re insecure about how their teeth look. In fact, one out of two people also prefer to smile with their mouth closed.
Chipped, discolored, broken, or missing teeth seem to get in the way of a beautiful smile

- Replace Those Silver Spots in Your Mouth – Silver looks great as jewelry, but it doesn’t look quite as nice in your teeth and mouth.
