 For
generations from Mona Lisa to the “cover girl” the absence or presence
of a smile has carried great significance. Through history, the quality of a smile
has been an indication of an individual’s sense of well-being. Today, a
healthy, attractive smile continues to be an important facet of life. Your smile
makes an impact on your health, self-esteem, and relationships---both personal
and professional.

Do you feel awkward or self-conscious about your
smile? |
|
Do you cover your mouth when you talk or smile? |
|
When the camera shutter opens, do your lips close?
Do you hate close- up shots? |
|
Women, do you avoid wearing certain lipstick shades
because it highlights your discolored teeth? |
|
Men, have you ever grown a mustache or beard to
help hide your smile? |
Although a vast number of Americans understand the importance
of a good smile, only half think that their
smile makes the grade.
