February 28 - March 6, 2018 www.TheTownCommon.com Page Health & Wellness By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD Most people will admit that nice looking teeth make a person more attractive than not so nice looking teeth. Apparently, there are other benefits as well. In a study conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) they found: • • • Virtually all Americans (99.7%) believe a smile is an important social asset. 96% of adults believe an attractive smile makes a person more appealing to members of the opposite sex. 74% of adults feel an unattractive smile can hurt a person’s chances for career success. The survey then went a little deeper. Photographs of individuals with different levels of attractiveness in their smiles were shown to 528 adults who represented a statistically valid cross section of the U.S. population. The respondents were asked to quickly judge the eight people as to how attractive, intelligent, happy, successful in their career, friendly, interesting, kind and wealthy they appeared. Individuals with more attractive Brighter Smiles... Do You Like Your Smile? teeth overwhelmingly beat out others in all areas. Who knew that a new smile also makes you appear more intelligent, happy, wealthy, successful, interesting, sensitive and kind? While the change was most dramatic for the attractive, popular with the opposite sex, wealthy and successful in their career categories, the change was statistically significant in all areas. So, what can you do to make your smile more attractive? It depends on your individual situation. Some people have very nice teeth that just need to be brightened up. This alone can make a huge difference. Overthe-counter white strips work very well on teeth of younger people or people whose teeth are more yellow than the grey aging look that teeth sometimes take on. Professional whitening with a custom tray is by far the best, most controlled and cost effective way to whiten teeth. It may cost more initially, but with all the touch-ups done over the course of years, this way is a proven winner. Other people may need orthodontics to straighten things out to make their smile more attractive. And then there is the group that need a little more help. These individuals may benefit from bonding, porcelain veneers or crowns. Even replacing old front fillings or re-shaping teeth can make a significant Senior Scene if you had someone to help shovel the walk the next time it snows? Or someone whose rent payment means you can stay in your home? Or even, on a more friendly level, someone to play chess or cards with? Start by calling the senior center, Council on Aging or local social services office to ask if they know of a roommate matching service. Once you locate one, be prepared to be extremely honest in what you’re looking for. If you can’t stand to be around people drinking alcohol, say so. If you go to bed early and need the house quiet by a certain time at night, say that, too. The more difference. Let’s not forget those without teeth. Denture teeth are typically made of plastic. They stain and wear faster than natural teeth. Newer advances in denture teeth construction can produce smiles that are hard to tell from real. There is no reason a person with dentures should look like a person with dentures. There are many Northern Essex Fuel Corp. Automatic Delivery 24 Hour Burner Service Reliable . Honest .

A $300 denture at a chain dental office will look like a $300 denture. Better yet, consider dental implants. Many dentists offer smile simulations. They take a picture of you smiling do a digital smile makeover. In all the times I have done this, I have never had one person say they liked their original picture better. It is truly amazing the effect that teeth can have on your overall appearance. Being confident and happy about the way your smile looks is important. If there is something you do not like about the way your teeth look, talk to your dentist or dental hygienist about your options.

So many seniors live alone, and the last thing you want is to move just because the house becomes too much to handle on your own. Or maybe your property taxes went up and your $3 Social Security increase won’t cover it. What if you had a roommate? The first instinct might be to say no to that idea. You don’t want a stranger sharing your space. But think about that. What honest you are, the more likely you are to find a roommate who is compatible. Be sure to have credit and background checks done. The best possible situation might be if there’s a college near you. A student who’s old enough not to be required to live in the dorm (sophomore or older), who is tired of the noise of a dorm, who needs peace and quiet to study, who’s tired of cafeteria food, who is struggling on a budget ... that kind of roommate might be perfect. Don’t say no until you’ve given it some thought! (c) 2017 King Features Synd., Inc. Recycle This Newspaper Dr. Laura anne Potvin, P.C. oPtoMetriStS EYE CARE FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY!
