Smiling is a universal language everyone, even babies, can understand. It can also give a long list of effects on a person’s mood, health, or career.
In fact, in an interesting study, 63% of women say that they look best in pictures when their teeth are visible while 74% of people also believe that a bad smile can ruin a successful career1. With this data, we can attest to the teeth and smiles’ capabilities to make or break a career.
This is also the reason why an attractive smile is also considered to be a vital personal asset by 99.7% of people1.
Aside from the appealing and influential factors, smiling can also boost physical health. When we smile, we instruct our brains to release oxytocin, also known as the “love hormone”. These chemicals contribute to strengthening the immune system and brightening up our moods. And that’s enough reason why nothing should really stop us from smiling!
Not even yellowish teeth.
Although it isn’t entirely a bad thing, these are often perceived as discoloration or stain, and signs of premature aging.
In a study of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in 2012, researchers found out that “yellowed teeth are rated as least attractive.”2
No wonder why more and more Americans are considering teeth whitening for a brighter, pleasant smile.
In 2020, the teeth whitening industry has mounted to a market size value of $6.14 billion. This is perceived to grow more to a staggering amount of $8.21 billion in 20263.
Did you know that 45 million Americans have their teeth professionally whitened?
The statistic is equivalent to 14% of America’s total population3. Other than achieving an aesthetic smile, people tend to whiten their teeth to boost confidence and beauty.
Teeth whitening can offer a list of benefits. These two are cited the major reasons why
1. To be more attractive:
White teeth can illuminate a pearly shine with just a simple smile. This is proved by several studies that Americans are perceived to be more attractive, sociable, and intelligent. It also boosts confidence among people who have white teeth and gain stronger self-esteem from having such a great smile. Not only will it be attractive to strangers, but also to family and friends.
2. Protect Teeth
Having white teeth also cleans your mouth from dangerous cavities, gum irritation, or even crookedness of its formation. Having it professionally fixed can also have your teeth’s holes filled4.
If you want to have professional teeth whitening, visiting your local dentist is the best option. You can achieve a pearly white smile for $300-$10005.
If you wanted to stay on low budget, you can try whitening your teeth at home using FDA approved creams6.
You can also try the alternatives like brushing your teeth with whitening toothpaste or using strips.
Achieving that dream pearly smile can really be a bit pricey. But considering its mental health benefits, as well as its appealing factors, you are getting more than what you are paying for.
