Meanwhile, on the other side of the spectrum, all people – regardless of language, have a shared appreciation and understanding of the simplest but most genuine of gestures: a smile. With a slight movement of the lips, boundaries are miraculously broken.
According to Dr. Sheila Ranido of Dental World, it is definitely the idea of giving patients their best smile which inspires her and her colleagues to do their difficult jobs. For her, a smile does not only instantly improve a person’s looks, instead, it has the ability to change and transform lives.
“I once had a patient who neither had the confidence to talk to people and much more smile, not even in photos. Mother nature had not gifted her with a perfect smile so she felt embarrassed at the idea of others seeing her smile,” recalls Dr. Sheila.
Through modern science and the combined effort of the Dental World family, Dr. Sheila’s patient was able to get the solution to her problem – a smile makeover. A simple procedure had, in giving the patient the confidence to smile, changed her life in so many ways.
“Now that she has a fantastic new smile, she smiles a lot more. Actually, she can no longer stop smiling,” shares Dr. Sheila, who believes that every person should invest in a good smile.
