First impressions mean a lot when it comes to dating, job interviews, and meeting new people in general. Visiting your dentist at least twice a year for a cleaning or at the appropriate time when you need dental work done can be the deciding factor in how people treat you on a regular basis. 

The appearance of your mouth and smile is known to be heavily correlated with social interactions. The reason being is that studies about having healthy, straight teeth reveal that those features are associated with positive qualities such as high confidence, happiness, and success! 

Oftentimes, we realize our dental flaws after someone brought them to our attention. Would you rather be known as the person who’s breath was unbearable? Or the person who was pleasant to speak with? It doesn’t matter whether it’s halitosis (bad breath), a misaligned jaw, crooked, chipped or discolored teeth. They all have an impact on your interactions with other people and can be easy for your dentist to help you fix. 

A recent study done by the American Dental Association revealed that 33 percent of young adults aged 18-34 hesitate to smile due to decaying teeth and gum problems. Another 28 percent claim the appearance of their teeth and mouth inhibits their ability to interview for a job. Knowing this, one of our main goals at Design That Smile is to eliminate this “dental anxiety” through providing our patients with a reliable experience that accommodates their every dental need so they can comfortably function socially and professionally!
