Behind Your Smile

There is no limit to the list of things that make us smile every day. Whether it’s waking up to sunshine, finding unexpected cash in your pocket or the arrival of payday, there are lots of things that can put a smile on our faces, but a new survey suggests we smile the most when spending time with family and friends.

Why are smiles so important? Not only is a smile the first indication to someone that we are feeling happy in any given moment, but there are also a host of health benefits associated with smiling.

To inform the conversation, we surveyed a nationally representative sample of adults across the UK to explore what makes us smile each day and to find out how much we really know about the important link between oral health and overall health.

With links to heart disease, diabetes, and mouth cancer, it is crucially important to keep our dental health in the best possible condition, to give our bodies everything they need to run sufficiently.
