Nearly 25% of Americans fear going to the dentist, and up to 75% have at least some form of anxiety related to dental care. For many individuals, fear of going to the dentist affects their daily lives—from as simple as eating a nutritious breakfast to fully engaging in intimate relationships. For some individuals, their fear is so severe that they lose sleep at night, worry excessively, and avoid essential dental health care.
A smile, they say, is the cheapest gift you can give someone. Smiling communicates how happy we feel and someone who smiles a lot is more likely to be perceived as confident and self-assured. “Smile and Style” is a television docudrama devoted to improving the dental health and boosting the self-esteem of select individuals whom have had traumatic personal experiences that have negatively affected their teeth or they cannot afford the costs associated with needed dental work. This show aims to educate the viewer and minimize the discomfort associated with dental work.
