Q: HOW DOES ONE GET A BIG PERFECT SMILE?
“Either you are born with it or not” Dr. Malony L. Santos quotes. Twelve years in Dental practice, HEAD DENTIST of M.L. Santos Dental Cosmetics and TMJ Center makes him the power that is to say so. Another feather in his cap, the bachelor Head Dentist spearheads the panel of judges for the BEST SMILE award among 85 beauty contestants from the recently concluded Miss Earth 2008. Everything has a price and even a perfect smile now gets rewarded, Dr. Malony added.
Q: Categorically speaking, what makes a perfect smile?
Mother Nature dictates that a perfect smile should possess the following qualities: pearly white teeth, complete dentition (no missing teeth), caries free, good bite, well aligned teeth, smile not reaching the gum line, and a pinkish gum to complete the criteria.
The best things in life are free. Study says that laughter is one of the most infectious body language. Laughter begets laughter. When does reality hit harder? It is cruel when you can’t enjoy what Mother Nature offers for free because every time you smile back, you only get embarrassed. Reality bites when the culprit is your poor genes aggravated by worn-out enamel, spacing and other teeth deformities. Good dental habits only amount to something but not everything. When nature lets you down, let modern technology takes its course. Truly, nothing comes for free where dental intervention is necessary. It maybe taxing in one’s pocket and time but there is no shortcut to shaping a perfect smile.
Where beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, nobody is perfect. Everyone takes a premium in beauty in this gung ho world. Beauty is now an investment and gone are the days where beautiful is effortless.
Talking of Mother Nature and Dr. Malony’s involvement in 2008’s Ms. Earth, the God sent beauties queued up to be up close and personal with the Head Dentist. M.L.Santos Dental Cosmetics and TMJ Center was tapped to sponsor the BEST SMILE award during one of the pageant’s special award‘s event.
Being an authority in the business, the Earth candidates were placed under the scrutiny of Dr. Malony for the BEST SMILE recognition. The dental chair as his witness, he vowed to have seen it all.
Mother Nature has been very generous to all 85 candidates causing me to check and countercheck just to be sure. A unanimous decision was made after consulting with his three other associates. All qualities of what makes a perfect smile being present to almost all, Dr. Malony and his associates concerted a vote and proclaimed Ms. Brazil’s smile a knock out. Her smile is proportion to her face, that’s what separates her from among the rest. Eat your heart out, but Ms. Brazil’s smile is the epitome of what perfect smile is all about, the dentist added.
A beautiful smile gets rewarded, it does not hurt to compensate the goddess of smile with an additional 15 thousand peso worth of Gift Certificate from M.L. Santos Dental Cosmetics and TMJ Center. Call it universal conspiracy, the South American beauty made M.L. Santos even prouder, when she was crowned Ms. Earth Fire 2008.
Despair no more if the issue is an imperfect smile. Man and technology collaborated to bring to life dental procedures available at your choice of dental clinics either for teeth whitening, all porcelain crown, composite bonding, veneers to change color, shape and texture of teeth.
In an industry where not everybody opts to be an authority on what distinguishes a made - over smile from a God-given one, a regular guy can hardly tell with bias on what the naked eyes can see. This is the hard rule of telling things like it is.
We smile for a lot of reasons. If the eyes are the windows of the soul, the perfect smile is the blue print of our emotion.
Did the EARTH beauties caused Dr. Malony to do special preparation when he performed his dental check-up? “the usual thing, PLEASE OPEN WIDE” he chuckles.
Note: Use photos of Ms. Brazil during clinic visit, while being checked by Dr. Malony, in her BEST SMILE sash, and during coronation night, other beauties who graced the clinic |
