Appearance and Celebrity
Appearance and ‘celebrity’..? We’re obsessed with it. You can’t pick up a magazine or turn on the tv without coming across the omnipresent make-over… cosmetic or otherwise.

And whilst some may be prepared to undergo treatment to correct imperfections of one sort or another, it’s far easier and less costly to adopt a proactive approach to dental hygiene in the formative years.

With Dencover’s great range of policies there’s every reason to expect that those early years will set the scene for a lifetime of great oral health.

And as we progress through adulthood, the importance of smiling simply can’t be underestimated….

“Smiling makes people like us…!”

According to well-known tv presenter and body-language expert Tracey Cox:

“Science has proved the more you smile, the more positive reactions others will give you – and the more genuine the smile, the more liked you’ll be. Genuine smiles are sparked unconsciously, which means they’re automatic.”

“Smile and world smiles with you…”

“Smiles are infectious – most people find it difficult not to smile back if smiled at for more than a few seconds.

Even faking happiness can make us feel happier. Evidence suggests that by simply making facial expressions, we can feel the emotion that usually accompanies them.

Form a smile with your facial muscles and the brain recognises the expression, thinks ‘I’m happy’, and obediently releases the hormones which usually go with it – making us feel happier even if the smile was fake.”
