How to Show off Your Smile in Holiday, Event Photos

With the holidays at hand and a new year just around the corner, it’s natural to take stock of all that you accomplished in 2015.

If your list of recent achievements includes taking great care of your teeth and gums with regular visits to Buffalo-area dentist Dr. Larry Evola, or undergoing a cosmetic dentistry procedure in order to showcase your healthiest, most attractive smile, what better way to mark your step toward better health and wellness than to show off your proverbial pearly whites whenever someone snaps a photo during celebratory holiday meals and parties.

Here are three tips for flashing a great smile in holiday pictures:

• Relax. Act naturally and avoid uncomfortable poses.
• Sit/Stand up straight. Proper posture, or a straight back, neck and head, will beautifully frame your smile.
• Pivot. Slightly turn your shoulders in one direction and your chin in the opposite direction, and then look at the camera. This can help you avoid an unsightly double-chin or slouching look in your pictures.

If, on the other hand, you find yourself simply not wanting to smile for the camera because you feel uncomfortable about the health of your teeth or gums, consider giving yourself the gift of a great smile this holiday season by scheduling your cosmetic dentistry consultation with Buffalo-area dentist Dr. Evola at Forestream Dental in Depew: 716-656-8686.
