Say Cheese – 4 Secrets to Getting Back Your Confident Smile

May 15, 2019 by Painter Mommy Leave a Comment

It’s true that money can’t buy happiness, but as the saying goes, I’d rather cry in a Lamborghini than on a bike. Likewise, looking good doesn’t automatically make you a strong confident person, but it certainly helps. Read on to discover five ways to bring back that fearless spirit you had as a child.

 

Say cheese.

The easiest way to get your smile back is to fake it. Pretending you’re happy tricks your brain into releasing dopamine and other positivity chemicals so you can literally fake it ‘til you make it. If you’re worried about your chompers, invest in some teeth whitening or get them straightened. If you’re happy with your smile how it is, then more power to you but if you need a little extra help, don’t let guilt or fear hold you back from what’s essentially a fairly cheap and relatively noninvasive way of boosting your self-esteem.

 

Flash some cash.

Remember how money can’t buy happiness? Don’t go out and throw money at unnecessary items that are way out of your budget, but if you’ve got the cash to spare and you’ve really been wanting that new outfit or to get your hair or nails done, then go for it. This comes back to that wonderful little neurochemical dopamine, which, surprise, is also released when you shop or pamper yourself. Just make sure to set a limit and stick to it or your pleasurable treat could turn into a spiral of debt.

 

Don’t diet.

We were once told a diet has its name because it makes you want to die and while that may be a bit of an exaggeration, dieting certainly isn’t fun or even healthy in most cases. Ensure that you’re getting your servings of fruit, vegetables and required vitamins then allow yourself freedom with the rest of what you eat during the day. Don’t binge because this will just make you feel worse both physically and mentally, but if you maintain balance in what nourishment you give your body, your confidence will receive an automatic boost since you’ll feel better emotionally when your body is well taken care of.

 

If you don’t love it, lose it.

Likewise, although you’ll probably groan at this one, you should work out. If you don’t already, start, and if you do, lift your game. Sure everyone tells you to exercise, and with good reason (our good old buddy dopamine) but what they don’t tell you when it comes to staying motivated, is that if you don’t enjoy the way you work out, you’re not going to stick to your plan. This is true no matter how many happy chemicals get released so make sure you find a way to exercise that you’re actually keen to do. If the gym isn’t really your thing, join a dance studio or make a point of taking the dog for a run each morning. Remember, it doesn’t matter how you do it, just as long as you do.

Confidence isn’t some magical unachievable ideal, but it is something you need to work towards having and keeping. If you look good and feel good physically, then you’re going to feel good mentally and emotionally. This boosts your confidence, which eventually leads to a self-perpetuating cycle of kicking goals and staying positive. Remember that no one feels 100% all the time. Do what’s best for you and the rest will fall into place.

Whiter and Brighter – 6 Great Reasons to Consider Dental Veneers

May 15, 2019 by Painter Mommy Leave a Comment

Dental veneers also referred to as porcelain veneers, are thin shells of tooth-colored porcelain or composite material that is physically bonded to and covers a tooth’s enamel surface. Veneers offer a more permanent solution to many common dental issues, which is why they are one of the most popular options among patients.

You may want to consider getting dental veneers if you experience tooth issues that make you hide your smile or feel self-conscious around other people. Here are several reasons to consider getting dental veneers:

 

1. Teeth Whitening

There is a plethora of teeth whitening products on the market today. Some work better than others, but ultimately, these products are a short-term solution to a not-so-pearly-white smile. Dental veneers, on the other hand, offer a more permanent fix for stained, yellowed, and discolored teeth that don’t respond to traditional whitening techniques. They can be applied to one or all your teeth. If your veneers only cover one or two teeth, your dentist will make sure they match your natural teeth completely. If your veneers are covering all your teeth, you’ll be able to pick how bright and white they will be.

 

2. Change the Shape of Your Teeth

Because dental veneers are thin shells that cover your existing teeth, they can be molded into any shape or size necessary. This means if you have oddly-shaped or worn teeth, veneers can correct these issues for an aesthetically-pleasing result.

 

3. Veneers Address Single or Multiple Tooth Issues

Dental veneers are used to correct individual teeth. Each problematic tooth is covered individually, which means you can have as little as one tooth or as many as all your teeth fixed with dental veneers. Veneers are a great option for those who have issues with multiple teeth.

 

4. Long-Term Beauty

Dental veneers are one of the longest-lasting dental fixes available. When cared for correctly, they can last as many as 20 years. If you get dental veneers, you’ll need to practice good dental hygiene at home and keep regular cleaning and exam appointments with your dentist. You will want to stay away from eating anything hard or overly sticky to avoid damaging the thin coating.

 

5. Veneers Offer a Beautiful Smile

When it comes to creating a normal-looking smile, veneers are the best way to get the beautiful smile you’re looking for. Many people turn to veneers when traditional whitening methods fail to provide the results they desire. For cracked, chipped, oddly-shaped, and discolored teeth, veneers are the ideal option.

 

6. Natural Tooth Enhancement

Your dentist will ultimately decide if your tooth issues warrant veneers, but your candidacy relies on how healthy your natural teeth are beforehand. If you don’t have any gum disease, decay, or any other underlying issues, you may be a good candidate. Be warned, however, that if you already have an attractive smile that simply needs a little whitening, your dentist may try to steer you away from dental veneers because their application requires permanent alteration of your natural teeth. It’s important to educate yourself and listen to your dentist before deciding on dental veneers as a fix for your dental problems.

Dental veneers are a popular option among dental patients as they provide a more permanent solution to several tooth issues. From damaged teeth to teeth that aren’t as white as they could be, dental veneers are a good choice. If you think veneers might restore your smile and build your self-confidence, speak with your dentist to find out if they’re the right option for you.
