First Impressions Count

The recently published Oral-B Smile Report shows just how much a person's smile can affect your first impressions.

Two groups of people were shown the same picture of a woman apart from one had clean teeth and one had stained teeth. They were asked the same questions and the results are certainly eye-opening.

The report reveals that bad teeth can age you by 13 years and 82% will think you earn more if you have healthy teeth. Men also rated a "gorgeous smile" over a "great figure", but 40% of men thought the woman with bad teeth must be single!

Although you may not realise it, people make judgements about you based on your appearance, and this report shows how much the teeth and smile can affect those judgements. Don't let your smile let you down, go and visit your dentist or orthodontist and change it!
