After all, if I don’t burn,
And if you don't burn,
And if we don't burn,
Then who will dispel the darkness?
Nazim Hikmet, Turkish poet
A smile is magic. A smile is contagious. A smile is the easiest and most effective way to establish contact. A smiling person is like a magnet that attracts positive people, good circumstances, brilliant ideas, luck, success, joy, prosperity and wealth.
A smile improves health, prolongs youth and gives happiness. The wider a person’s smile and the more contagious his laughter, the longer his life. When a person smiles
The body produces
the happiness hormone endorphin
, which creates a feeling of happiness here and now. When we smile, we feel happy. Smile = happiness!
An analogy can be drawn: in order to live, a person needs oxygen, and in order to be happy, he needs to smile as much as possible. A smile is necessary for happiness, like oxygen is for life.
Endorphin is produced and creates a feeling of happiness regardless of whether the laughter is artificial or sincere.
Madan Kataria, one of my teachers, who is also known as "Doctor Laughter", uses laughter therapy
to improve people's well-being. He started his practice many years ago and discovered all the secrets of a smile, all its magic, which he shares with people. Kataria organized the first Laughter Club in India, where people come just to laugh. After all, 15-20 minutes of laughter will charge you with energy for the whole day!
Now there are tens of thousands of such laughter clubs around the world. People come to these clubs to laugh, recharge with positive energy, and raise their emotional level. Group exercises begin with forced, artificial laughter, which then flows into sincere laughter, thanks to eye contact and the accumulation of endorphins. I practice many exercises in trainings and they work perfectly. This is a wonderful tool, by mastering it and taking control of your emotions, you can ensure a good mood at any time.
Laughter helps combat the negative effects of stress because it helps reduce levels of stress-causing hormones.
, improves the functioning of the immune system. Laughter significantly reduces the symptoms of coughs, colds, sore throats, and also helps lower blood pressure. The recovery process for a sick person goes twice as fast if he has a positive attitude and smiles! I experienced this myself. Even Charles Darwin said that the very act of smiling improves your mood, and subsequently your well-being. Our worst enemies are negative emotions!
We are born with a smile. The developing fetus smiles while still in the womb. This can be seen using three-dimensional ultrasound. After birth, the baby continues to smile. Pay attention to children, they smile just like that, for no reason. Children always smile - in the morning, during the day, in the evening and even in their sleep, and this is an incredibly sweet sight.
Children have amazing superpowers. They smile about 400 times a day, while adults smile about 17. And some don't smile at all. Pay attention to the people walking down the street, passing in cars... In places where there are a lot of them, they will be smiling. at best, 1-2 people, and that’s because they will see your shining, smiling face. The majority of people are gloomy and gray. They live in their own worlds that they have invented for themselves. People, what's wrong with you? Go down the Moscow metro and you won't see a single smile. In the city it is also very rare to see a smiling person walking or driving past.
A smile brings so much pleasure
that even
chocolate
cannot compare with it. Scientists say that one smile causes the same stimulation as two thousand chocolate bars. Just think about this number! And no extra calories! The same study proved that just smiling is as stimulating as receiving $25,000 in cash. Children smile about 400 times a day. If we multiply 400 by 25 thousand, we get 10 million dollars. Looks like the kids are enjoying themselves like dollar millionaires!
As soon as a person grows up, magical transformations happen to him - he smiles less and frowns more. Society leaves its mark, and negative thinking aggravates the situation. One gloomy person in negativity is like a rotten apple in a basket that needs to be removed as soon as possible so that the rest do not spoil. The later this is done, the more apples will be susceptible to spoilage. It’s the same with people - one person can infect the entire team with negativity.
But if in the case of an apple the process is irreversible, then with a person the situation is simpler. It can be translated from negative thinking
into
a positive thinker.
To do this, he himself must want to change and start working on himself. The Holy Scriptures say that despondency is one of the deadly sins. We drive ourselves into a dead end, into a dark forest, into an abyss, and this is a person’s personal choice!
A smile can bring joy to other people too! When a person smiles, those around him also begin to smile. A smile is contagious and spreads instantly.
Experiments have been carried out repeatedly to confirm this. When Madan Kataria came to Moscow, he and his colleagues went down to the metro and showed in practice how it works.
Entering the subway car, he took out his phone and began imitating a conversation. After a short time he laughed, and after a few minutes all the passengers in this carriage were laughing loudly. First one laughed, looking at him, then another, and then everyone laughed without exception, some even to tears.
Agree, dear friend, it’s hard to resist smiling when everyone around you is laughing. No matter how gloomy, stern or serious you are at this moment. It's easy to explain. When we communicate with people who smile often, we also smile more often. Smiles are contagious, they weaken control over the facial muscles and a person cannot keep a smile. Like attracts like.
A person's laughter is like the fire of a single candle that illuminates the darkness. It lights up hundreds and thousands of candles. First, one candle lights the second, then two more will light up from these two, then four, and so on. As a result, it becomes lighter and warmer. A smiling man among the gloomy gray mass is like a sparkling light in the darkness, from which everyone strives to light up and sparkle. A positive person is 10 times more likely to become healthy and wealthy.
A smile is a passport to the world of happiness, joy, love and wealth. By smiling, we look better, more confident, more successful, happier in the eyes of others. We appear more likable, courteous and competent. Smile friends, smile as often as possible!
To assimilate and consolidate this law, perform the following exercises:
- From today, start every morning with a smile. As soon as you wake up and open your eyes, smile. Then, before you wash your face and brush your teeth, looking in the mirror, smile at yourself a few more times and laugh.
- Teach yourself to smile just like that, without any reason. Do the "lock" exercise. Imagine that your lips are two zippers from the lock, and you are holding the slider with your hand. You open the lock and smile, close it and stop. Do this exercise several times a day until you learn to smile for no reason and understand that smiling is easy and pleasant.
- Perform daily at least 200 smiles per day, for advanced ones - 400 smiles per day.
- Smile at 10 random strangers passing by. Give them your smile while looking into their eyes. Pay attention to how people react, what happens to them.
- From today, when you meet acquaintances, friends, relatives, colleagues, as well as new acquaintances, you will smile!

Parameters of an ideal smile
If you think that to create a perfect smile it is enough to have white, even, beautiful and healthy teeth - you are mistaken. The Hollywood smile has a number of parameters that the dentist working on its creation will take into account.
Let's briefly go through the existing modern standards that an ideal smile should meet:
- All horizontal lines must be parallel to each other. When creating a Hollywood smile, horizontal lines mean the lines of the eyes, lips, the line of the cutting edge of the front incisors, as well as an imaginary line between the cutting edges of the fangs;
- The size of the teeth should harmoniously decrease in the direction from the center to the edges and, moreover, the width and height of the teeth should also meet certain parameters, in addition, the teeth should be connected at specific points, and the edges of the teeth included in the upper dentition should have a certain bend. With an ideal smile, the upper lip almost completely covers the gum line of the teeth.
When creating a Hollywood smile, the dentist must take into account a lot of important points and, of course, carry out the work so that the new smile makes the person’s face younger, more attractive and more beautiful.

How much does it cost to create a perfect smile?
The cost of creating a perfect, Hollywood smile is always an individual question. If your teeth are healthy, have a beautiful and even shape, without fillings, and your bite is correct, the cost of acquiring an ideal smile will be minimal; it will be enough for you to undergo professional teeth cleaning and whitening procedures.
The costs of creating an ideal smile will increase if you need prosthetic crowns or orthodontic treatment. The price for creating a beautiful smile will depend on the technology of prosthetics and the technique of bite correction.
If you want to get the smile of your dreams with the help of veneers, then you should know that usually these microprostheses are placed on all teeth included in the smile area. That is, veneers will need to cover 7-8 teeth in the upper jaw and the same number in the lower jaw. The price of one ceramic veneer will start at 35 thousand rubles; lumineers will cost more because they are produced not in Russia, but in the USA.
To find out what the exact price of an ideal smile will be for you, you need to visit the clinic and undergo an examination by several specialists at once - a therapist, an orthopedist and an orthodontist. For a beautiful and bright smile, we invite you to our clinic in Moscow - “Aesthetica”!
Where to start working on creating the perfect smile?
If you dream of a beautiful Hollywood smile, like celebrities from the screen and covers of glossy publications, then the first thing you should do is cure your teeth from caries, restore those elements of the dentition that are severely damaged or completely absent.
If those teeth that are included in the smile area are destroyed by more than 50%, it would be more correct to restore them not by filling with a composite material, but by installing crowns. Severely damaged teeth will need to be filled with large fillings, which do not have a high-quality and reliable fixation and can break and fall out under stress. In most cases, fillings break and fall out along with part of the tooth, and if the root part is also damaged, then the tooth will have to be removed and then restored with implantation.
In addition, even fillings made from high-quality materials darken and sag over time. These changes negatively affect the aesthetics of the teeth and will be clearly visible on the front teeth that fall into the smile area.
Installing crowns will help avoid such problems and, moreover, will significantly improve the aesthetics of the dentition. After all, when making a crown for you, the dentist can give the structure a correct and beautiful shape that fits into the standards of an ideal smile.
To create a Hollywood and beautiful smile, it is recommended to install ceramic crowns, because crowns made of this material:
- They have a high level of aesthetics. In terms of transparency and light transmission, dental ceramics are as close as possible to natural tooth enamel. Thanks to these characteristics, ceramic crowns look natural;
- Ceramics have sufficient strength to flawlessly withstand the load that occurs when chewing food;
- By placing ceramic crowns on your teeth to achieve a Hollywood smile, you will not encounter problems such as bluish gums or the appearance of a dark line at the edge of the gums in contact with the crown. These problems arise when inexpensive metal-ceramic crowns are used in the restoration of teeth in the smile area.
Naturally, before you begin dental treatment, in order to get a beautiful smile, you must undergo the procedure of oral sanitation and whitening. Beautiful teeth cannot be yellow and covered with plaque and tartar; in addition, sanitation and whitening will help you see the true shade of your enamel and choose the right materials for fillings and crowns.
