Should you show bottom teeth when smiling?

Show Your Teeth While you don't need to show every tooth in your mouth, it's a good idea to show a few when you smile in photos. Showing some of your upper teeth and even some of your bottom teeth can help to brighten up your face.

1. Show Your Teeth

Do you feel self conscious when you smile for photos? Never fear! Here are some helpful tips on how to make you feel more comfortable smiling in photos. While you don’t need to show every tooth in your mouth, it’s a good idea to show a few when you smile in photos. Showing some of your upper teeth and even some of your bottom teeth can help to brighten up your face. However, showing too many teeth can make your face look over-exuberant and strained but showing none can make you seem very serious. Practice in the mirror to find a balance that works for your unique face to let your smile shine in photos.

2. Wear Lipstick

If you like to wear makeup, lipstick can help your teeth look their best in photos. Different shades do different things to make your teeth look whiter and brighter. For example, berry reds contrast with your teeth so they stand out more while shades with blue undertones undercut the yellow colors in your teeth. You should always avoid yellow and orange hues because they make the yellow in your teeth stand out and make your teeth look duller when you smile.

3. Close Your Eyes & Then Open Them

This one might seem strange, but if you feel like your smile in photos seems forced this may be the trick for you. Before the picture is taken, close your eyes for a few seconds. Then, slowly open them as you slowly smile. This should make you feel less awkward about taking the photo and will make your smile look more natural.

4. Say a Word That Ends in “Uh”

While we usually hear “Say cheese!” when we’re posing for a picture, it’s better to say something that ends in “uh”, like “pizza”, to avoid a goofy grin. This will allow your lips and teeth to fall into a much more natural smile.

5. Confidence Is Key

One of the best ways to have a dazzling smile in photos is by being confident! You can build confidence in your smile by practicing in the mirror. You can also feel more confident by upgrading your smile with our cosmetic dentistry services. Talk to us about our professional whitening treatments, porcelain veneers, or Invisalign® clear aligners so that you can have the smile of your dreams and feel phenomenal in every photo.

6. Practice Outstanding Oral Hygiene

To truly have a beautiful smile for photos, you must practice healthy oral hygiene. Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time with a fluoridated toothpaste, floss at least once a day, and come see us every six months for a professional dental checkup and cleaning.

Why do couples cuddle at night?

The wonder-hormone oxytocin also induces sleep, so there's no better place to cuddle than in bed! Scientists think that this happens because it suppresses the effects of cortisol, the 'stress hormone'. It calms the body and makes us feel relaxed.

1. Improve your relationship

Cuddling releases a hormone in the body called oxytocin. This hormone is comforting in every sense of the word and has been dubbed the ‘love hormone’ by scientists. Oxytocin is mostly responsible for reproductive activities such as inducing labour and stimulating milk production in pregnant women. However, its other responsibility is promoting social interaction and bonding with your romantic partner. According to research carried out by psychology professor Ruth Feldman at Bar-Ilan University in Israel, the more oxytocin produced in the relationship, the longer it lasts. Her team tested the amount of oxytocin present in couples. She and her colleagues found that new lovers had double the amount of oxytocin that is usually seen in pregnant women. Reporting on the study, Scientific American said, ‘Couples with the highest levels were the ones still together six months later. They were also more attuned to each other than the low-oxytocin couples when Feldman asked them to talk about a shared positive experience.’
