Show Your Teeth Some Appreciation This Thanksgiving 🦃🍂
Thanksgiving is day dedicated to giving thanks for all that we have in our lives. The typical thankful sentiments of life, health, family, and friends usually top the list. This Thanksgiving, the team at our TranZenDental wants to give you one more thing to be thankful for, something that’s typically overlooked: your teeth. ✨
We know it may sound silly to give thanks for your pearly whites, but trust us, after we list the top reasons you should appreciate your teeth, you’ll be praising them in no time.
☻ Your Teeth Are One of Your Most Defining Features
According to a study conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), your smile is one of the first things someone notices about you. It can also impact your life and others’ perceptions of who you are. In fact, the same AACD study concluded that 74% of those who took the survey believe an unattractive smile can negatively affect someone’s career. But don’t worry, if you’re not proud to show off your grin, cosmetic dentistry from Dr. Leconte will transform your smile and maybe even your life.
☻ They Help Us Communicate
Teeth are an essential part of speaking. Without them, we’d have difficulty pronouncing certain letters and sounds such as ‘f,’ ‘v,’ ‘s,’ ‘th,’ and so many more.
☻ Teeth Allow Us to Eat All of the Delicious Thanksgiving Treats
One of the teeth’s main purpose is to help us break down foods into more manageably sized pieces so that we can swallow easier. Different types of teeth have a different jobs when it comes to aiding in eating.
☻ They Can Improve Digestion
Also related to eating, there’s more that the mouth does to help prepare food for proper digestion other than simply chewing.
We hope our few reasons to be thankful for your teeth this Thanksgiving, and all year around, makes you appreciate a healthy smile. If there’s any concern about your smile, whether it’s cosmetic or functional, we welcome you to call our dental office in North Palm Beach, FL.
