WHY DO WE CARE ABOUT
White Teeth? It happens to everyone. One day, you’re standing in front of the mirror getting ready for work, and you notice your teeth have begun to take on an unsightly shade of yellow. Even the most diligent brushers and flossers will eventually notice their teeth aren’t as bright as they would like. opinions about them. Whether these opinions are justified or not is another matter, but that prejudice can affect how we treat each other and how we view ourselves. Since whiter teeth encourage more positive thinking, people who whiten their teeth often report a feeling of higher self-esteem and confidence, and this can translate into amazing results in other areas of life.
ENHANCED MOOD In addition to improved confidence, whiter teeth increase feelings of happiness. When we don’t feel self-conscious about our smiles, we smile more. Smiling releases endorphins, so this act can create a feedback loop of even more happiness! LOWER RISK OF ORAL PROBLEMS Individuals who whiten their teeth are more likely to maintain that bright shine for as long as possible through proper dental hygiene.

Don’t Let Bad Teeth Hold You Back This Two-Visit Treatment Can Transform Your Smile
T hey say a picture is worth a thousand words, but did you know your smile is worth far more? Research shows our teeth can impact almost every aspect of our life, from our career path to our love life. Thinking of looking for that “one and only?” Make sure your smile isn’t sabotaging your chances. A 2013 survey fromMatch.com found that men and women both rank teeth as the most important trait they judge a potential partner on — over hair, clothes, and even grammar. What’s more, a Kelton Research study found that 38 percent of people wouldn’t go on a second date with someone who had crooked teeth! The state of your teeth is just as important in your career. In business, you need people to trust you, and your teeth play a huge role in gaining someone’s trust. Kelton Research found that 73 percent of Americans were more likely to trust someone with nice teeth. It’s clear your teeth will
say more about whether or not you get the job than your words ever could. Your teeth can also influence your behavior. People who are self-conscious about their stained, misaligned teeth may avoid smiling, or they may cover their mouth when they talk and laugh. These actions seem suspicious and can cause other people, be they romantic partners or co-workers, to be less comfortable around you. On the other hand, a smile you’re happy to show off can help you feel more confident. When you’re not worried about your teeth, you can focus on putting your energy into angling for a promotion, making a great impression during a job interview, or working up the courage to talk to that cute barista.
