Does a whiter smile make you happier? Do you feel more attractive?
White teeth are more often associated with beauty and healthy living. Think about all the models you see on magazine covers and actors on TV, not one of them have discoloured teeth, giving them the look of perfection.
Whiter smiles help to minimise the appearance of facial wrinkles. This in turn makes you look younger. If you look younger you will start to feel younger to, which gives you an energetic appearance. People who act younger and energetic are generally healthier and happier than those who appear old and tired.
If you have stained or discoloured teeth people tend to focus on your mouth when you are talking rather than your eyes and that can make you less confident about yourself. If you have a whiter smile and people look at your mouth rather than your eyes you will not feel self conscious because you know that your teeth look good.
You smile more. People who smile more are seen as friendly and approachable. This can lead to more dates, more friends, and maybe even a promotion at work.
