Hazard guess that you spent longer drinking your cup of coffee this morning then you did brushing your teeth. The average person only spends 30 seconds on brushing their teeth, when a dentist actually recommends two minutes. That extra minute and a half could be all you need to makeover your smile.
In a professional study a couple of years ago highlighted the fact that two thirds of people subconsciously draw negative assumptions about a person's professional status and love lives based on the color of their teeth. When shown a picture of a woman with stained teeth, only a third of men considered the smile to be an attractive feature. However, almost half of those shown a picture of a person with a sincere white smile voted this a big turn-on.
The smile, when beaming bright, can make more of an impact than a clear complexion. American research shows that a person's teeth and smile are what 63 per cent of us notice first. A leading dentist has even gone as far as to predict that a great smile and good teeth will be the ultimate accessory for the 21st century and without them the chances of success in love, life and business will be limited. The first step to making your smile that little bit brighter can be carried out right in your bathroom. With you toothbrush. Brushing your teeth is such a familiar process that it's easy to forget how important it is for the health and look of your teeth.
So here's how to become you own dentist and get that perfect smile you have always wanted.
You should:
- Brush for two minutes, floss between every tooth and lastly using mouth wash...
- Make sure that you brush you teeth evening and morning.
