The American Association of Cosmetic Dentists was out to prove a point when they released results of a study on the importance of a beautiful smile.
A cross-section survey revealed virtually all Americans believe a smile is a vital social asset. Ninety-six percent of adults said a bright, white smile makes a person more attractive to the opposite sex. Three-quarters felt an unattractive smile hurts one’s career success.
Respondents asked, “What is the first thing you notice in a person’s smile?” listed:
• Straightness
• Whiteness and color of teeth
• Cleanliness of teeth
• Sincerity of smile
• Missing teeth
• Sparkle of smile
In response to the question, “What types of things do you consider make a smile unattractive,” respondents listed:
• Discolored, Yellow, or Stained Teeth
• Missing Teeth
• Crooked Teeth
• Decaying Teeth & Cavities
• Gaps & Spaces in Teeth
• Dirty Teeth
Finally, those surveyed were asked, “What would you most like to improve about your smile?” Whiter and brighter teeth turned out to be the most common response.
All statistics were based upon an independent and scientific poll conducted in 2004.
