THINGS THAT MAKE US SMILE

A new survey finds that the things that make us smile do so for an average of 13 minutes. And the more we smile, the more likely we will be kind to others…

June is National Smile Month and to highlight the friendly common gesture, a Dental Care Centre asked people what makes them smile.

Here are the top answers given:

1. Going on holiday

4. Receiving a smile from someone

5. A loved one getting good news

6. Doing something that makes someone else laugh or smile

7. Receiving a surprise gift

8. Winning some money

9. Getting a thank you 

10. Sitting in the sun

Other things that make us smile include, getting into bed with freshly washed sheets, a hug, a scenic walk, hearing your favourite song and seeing an old friend.
