A Whiter Smile Can Bring in More Green

Tooth whitening can help most people look better, up to 95 percent of them. It’s not mere vanity that makes people seek cosmetic dentistry. Smiles are among the first features anyone, including a job interviewer, notices about you. Within the first 30 seconds, a prospective employer may make a first impression based on your smile regarding your openness, friendliness, honesty, intelligence, and social status. The easiest and fastest way to improve your smile, assuming it is healthy already, is through tooth whitening.

According to the American Dental Association, the number of people bleaching their teeth has increased more than 300 percent in the last four years. Generally, you can whiten your teeth using one of three methods: in-office bleaching, at-home bleaching, or whitening toothpaste.  In-office bleaching has the most dramatic results with your teeth becoming up to eight shades whiter in about an hour.

To put your best foot forward in a job interview, make sure your smile measures up. Consider a variety of cosmetic dental procedures, from teeth whitening to a set of porcelain veneers.
