It's true. Your white smile also has a way of making you feel more trustworthy to those around you? Keep reading for more information about the benefits of a white smile.
Why White? We weren't always so concerned about our white smiles. In fact, for hundreds of years, no one was concerned about the whiteness of a smile. We were more concerned about living, avoiding warring tribes and getting felled by disease.
In fact, a lot of our early practices were more concerned with healing disease than healing teeth. Some early medical practices even turned teeth black as a way to fight off tooth decay and gum disease.
White Equals Healthy
Researchers aren't exactly sure, but research seems to indicate that people are more trustworthy if their smiles are clean and white. People are also seen as more attractive if their teeth are white and straight.
People with whiter teeth also seem to be promoted more frequently with whiter teeth. You may also have a better chance at a job interview with a whiter, brighter smile. In fact, we have seen people whiten their teeth before a job interview or an important meeting.
