Children are often told when the slightest smirk appears, “Wipe that smile off your face.” For most kids, a smile is a cinch to display and share with the world. Somehow, some of us seem to lose our smile in the teen years, finding it only on command from those same parents that banished it earlier. By the time we reach adulthood, it may become just a novelty brought out for parties and special occasions.

Smiling is one of our first forms of communication as a human being and is used worldwide. No words are needed to grin and show that you’re happy, comfortable or amused. A slight smile can speak across a noisy room to say “hello,” “I’m happy you’re here” or just a simple “Hubba Hubba!” Our smile is one of our most important features, yet all too many go missing each year.

Where Did Your Smile Go?

Unfortunately, a person’s mood is not the only reason for a smile’s absence. Other common reasons for their disappearance are:

• Accidents – teeth often get chipped, cracked, or outright lost in a variety of activities
• Genetics – some people are born with missing teeth, small “peg” or severely discolored teeth
• Habits – Poor eating or oral hygiene habits, smoking and teeth grinding are well known for their damage
• Health – Diabetes, Hypertension and Arthritis are a few conditions which may lead to dental problems
