Carpenter Dentistry’s Emergency Dental Day!
June 9, 2009It gives us great happiness to help others. We know that some dental procedures are delayed or put off for many reasons. This can lead to infection and other health issues, so we reached out to the community to take care of those in urgent need of dental care. Please enjoy a few pictures from a very rewarding day for both us and the patients! Thanks!

TOP 10 Reasons to SMILE!
April 22, 2009Just a fun article! A great smile can do more than you think!
1. Smiling Makes Us Approachable
We are drawn to people who smile. We want to know a smiling person and figure out what is so good. Frowns, scowls and grimaces push people away — but a smile draws them in.
2. Smiling Changes Our Mood
Next time you are feeling down, try putting on a smile. There’s a good chance you mood will change for the better. Smiling can trick the body into helping you change your mood.
3. Smiling Is Contagious
When someone is smiling they lighten up the room, change the moods of others, and make things happier. A smiling person brings happiness with them. Smile lots and you will draw people to you.
5. Smiling Boosts Your Immune System
Smiling helps the immune system to work better. When you smile, immune function improves possibly because you are more relaxed.
6. Smiling Lowers Your Blood Pressure
When you smile, there is a measurable reduction in your blood pressure. Give it a try if you have a blood pressure monitor at home. Sit for a few minutes, take a reading. Then smile for a minute and take another reading while still smiling.
7. Smiling Releases Endorphins, Natural Pain Killers and Serotonin
Studies have shown that smiling releases endorphins, natural pain killers, and serotonin. Together these three make us feel good.
8. Smiling can lift the Face and Makes You Look Younger
The muscles we use to smile lift the face, making a person appear younger, just try smiling your way through the day — you’ll look younger and feel better.
9. Smiling Makes You Seem Successful
Smiling people appear more confident. Put on a smile at meetings and appointments and people will react to you differently.
10. Smiling Helps You Stay Positive
