How To Feel More Confident In Your Smile

If you’re a patient who’s really struggling to feel confident in their smile then don’t worry, today’s post is going to really focus on what you need. We, at Sohal Dental Practice, always put the health and wellbeing of patients above all and have made it our mission to get all our patients feeling happier in their smiles.

What Are Smiles Do For Us

For those who do feel good about their smile, it can be hard to understand exactly how tricky it is for those who don’t. Taking that perfect grin for granted can be super common and frustrating for people who don’t share the confidence.

Our smiles say heaps about us; they literally open us up to the world. A big smile can go a long way in all aspects of life: a job interview, first date, best mates wedding, family christmas photo, the list is literally endless.

Those Who Don’t Smile

For patients who aren’t happy with their smile, it might be that the above statement feels totally alien for you because you spend all of these occasions worrying and thinking about your teeth. Are people looking at them? Do I look ugly? I’ll just cover them up when I smile or eat, etc…

This is no way to live. The energy you’re using worrying about thinking about your teeth is energy that could be far better spent in a million other ways.

What Can Be Done?

There’s a few key areas that need to be focused on, and the team here at your dentist in Birmingham want patients to combine a holistic approach to smile confidence. We want patients to not only focus on the cosmetic look, but equally apply mental strategies to help them feel better too.

Cosmetic Procedures

We offer a full range of dental cosmetics from whitening, bonding, to braces. You’ll be amazed at what we can achieve with a few small tweaks as technologically has come so far in dentistry. We recommend you book in with your dentist in Birmingham to have a consultation on what exactly it is you want to achieve and the best way of getting there. The idea of braces can feel really daunting to begin with, but there are some amazing patient friendly options now available which make the whole process much more accessible.

Mental Strength

We’re living in an age of self love and we think this should extend to your smile. We are all unique and perfect in our own way. Before considering cosmetic options, we would always urge patients to check in with why exactly it is that they’re unhappy with their smile. If you feel it’s a social pressure to look a certain way, then maybe talking through these feelings with someone is the place to start.

We also recommend taking up daily affirmations to help you rewire your thought patterns. Telling yourself that you have a beautiful smile everyday will genuinely make you feel better about your teeth.
