We spoke with the dentist Dr. Marcos Laboissiere, from the Ilo Odontologia of Brasilia, who talks to us about the theme of women’s month
In celebrating Women’s Month, it is essential to highlight the relationship between oral health and female self-esteem, underlining the importance of the smile as a central element in this context. In an interview, Dr. Marcos Laboissiere, specialist in facial dental surgery at Ilo Odontologia in Brasilia, talks about the essential care that women should take for their oral health.
“From puberty to menopause, women go through several hormonal changes that affect the health of their gums,” explains Dr. Marcos. “Maintaining a healthy smile not only contributes to the integrity of your teeth, but is also essential for promoting a good quality of life and high self-esteem at all stages of life.”
A study carried out by the University of Brasilia (UNB) in collaboration with the Federal University of Goiás (UFG) revealed that approximately 40% of facial beauty is directly related to the smile. “Smiling not only adds an aesthetic appearance to the face, but also plays a crucial role in emotional well-being,” emphasizes Dr. Marcos. “Smiling activates the release of neurotransmitters responsible for the feeling of happiness and well-being, as well as reducing stress and promoting muscle relaxation.”

In addition to the emotional benefits, smiling has a significant impact on women’s self-confidence. “A beautiful, confident smile allows women to feel more comfortable in all social interactions,” says Dr. Marcos. “Not only does it reflect good oral health, but it is also contagious, creating a positive environment around you.”
However, some common oral problems can affect women’s self-esteem. “Yellow teeth, missing teeth and gaps between teeth are problems that can affect women’s confidence and well-being,” Dr. Marcos points out. “It is essential to seek appropriate treatments to resolve these problems and restore self-esteem.”
Taking care of oral health is not just an aesthetic issue, but also an investment in women’s quality of life and self-confidence. “By prioritizing their smile, women can enjoy a fuller, healthier and more confident life,” concludes Dr. Marcos. “It’s important to remember that a smile is a powerful expression of happiness and self-acceptance and deserves all your attention and care.”
