Dr. Audrey Sim of All Smiles By Dr. Audrey in Algonquin has co-written a book with a title that's a mouthful: “Healthy Input: America's Leading Dentists Reveal the Secret Truths to a Healthy Body, Starting with What You Put in Your Mouth!”
Released by business book publisher CelebrityPress in January, “Healthy Input” features top advice and practices from the leading dental experts. In the book, authors cover a variety of topics, including routine care and maintenance of teeth and gums, orthodontics, conscious sedation, use of lasers for dental treatment, and the maintenance of our smiles.
Sim contributed a chapter titled “The Power of Your Smile.” It includes advice and guidelines on the power of cosmetic dentistry.
"It's all about how your smile really affects your overall self-image," Sim said. "It's how you feel about yourself."
Sim said many people are bothered by their smiles. "They want the smile to be what they think it should be," she said.
Her chapter includes a checklist of questions patients should ask their dentist to get the results they want.
On the day of its release, “Healthy Input” reached best-seller status in several Amazon.com categories, including: Dental Hygiene, Dentistry, Healthy Living, Personal Health, Medicine, Science, and Health, Mind and Body.
"They're health categories," Sim said. "It's not a Grisham novel."
