What no more Mask Mandates mean for your Smile

Albertville, AL

Thanks to a global pandemic, we spent more than a year wearing masks in public and crowded outdoor settings. You may still be wearing a mask where required, like in hospitals, doctor’s offices, or public buildings. But public mask mandates are winding down and being dropped completely in some settings for those that are vaccinated. Therefore, that means that your face is in full view again. While you can breathe a breath of fresh air, you might feel a bit of panic as you realize that everyone will see your smile, and if your smile is imperfect, that might worry you. Today on the blog, find out what no more mask mandates mean for your smile and how to ensure you have a confident smile, whether venturing in public or headed back to the office for the first time in months.

You’ll notice your smile imperfections, and so will others

Smiling is a natural reaction people have when expressing happiness or kindness to others. During the pandemic, wearing a mask in public meant no one would actually see your smile. Even though you are aware of your crooked or damaged teeth, those worries were probably in the back of your mind since you were wearing a mask a lot of the time. Now that mask mandates are going away, you’ll likely notice your smile imperfections more so than before, and so will others. 

You might not want to smile

Wearing a mask meant you could smile as big as you wanted to without worrying about others seeing your teeth. People with gaps between their teeth or crooked, misaligned, uneven, or damaged teeth are less likely to smile or attempt to flash a grin with their lips closed instead of showing their teeth now that they aren’t wearing a mask. But a closed-mouth grin doesn’t have the same joyful and exciting effect as a smile donning pearly white teeth. Therefore, a smile makeover could boost your confidence and allow you to show a full smile with ease.

You may avoid social gatherings or other important events

The COVID pandemic put everyone’s social life on hold for far too long. Now that mask mandates are nearly gone and many people are vaccinated, social events are commencing again. You don’t want to let your smile hold you back from going out with friends or dating. So, meet with an Albertville cosmetic dentist to find out which smile makeover treatments are right for you so you can hit the social scene again.
