To me, grinning can have different connotations.

Mischevious grin, flirtatious grin, evil grin, sarcastic grin.

Smiling has more of a warm connotation.

Broad smile, open smile, warm smile, charming smile, welcoming smile, friendly smile.

ITA. Teeth show in a smile - not necessarily in a grin.

A smile is innocent

A grin has a hidden agenda behind it (could be good or bad agenda)
