Did you know you have a superpower?

Your smile is your superpower! People who smile more often enjoy a fuller life, have lower stress levels, may live longer and are perceived as more attractive. Smiling makes you feel good and has been scientifically proven to make others feel better as well.

At Valley Dental Health, we know your smile is your superpower, and that is why we offer comprehensive and personalized dental health care to keep your smile healthy and beautiful. Clean, healthy teeth support good systemic health and confident smile.

Understanding The Power of Your Smile

This month we want to share a TEDTalk that explores the true powers of your smile. Ron Gutman, founder, and CEO of HealthTap online apps reviews research on the smile- a human universal.

“Smiling stimulates our brain reward mechanism in a way even chocolate, a well-regarded pleasure-inducer can not. match British researchers found that one smile can generate the same level of brain stimulation as up to 2000 bars of chocolate.”

Harness The Power of Your Smile

Taking care of your greatest superpower is important. A daily oral hygiene routine of brushing and flossing, and visiting the dentist at least twice a year can help keep your smile in its best shape. Valley Dental Health is a family dental practice in Baltimore, MD where we help children, teens, and adults harness the power of their smiles. We offer comprehensive dental services from routine dental cleanings to full-service dental implant treatment plans.
