You may not realize it, but your smile is oftentimes the first thing others notice about you. So it should come as no surprise that the look of your smile can have a direct impact on the success of your career. Not only does it help you look your best, but studies have shown that improved smiles help to boost confidence, helping you nail those interviews and important meetings. Keep reading to find out how else cosmetic dentistry can help improve your career in the long run.
First Impressions
As we mentioned, your smile is typically the first thing others notice about you! When you improve your smile, you’ll be able to make a better first impression when you interview for a job, meet new clients, or close a sale. First impressions can make or break a career prospect. With a healthy, bright smile, you can be sure you’re making a great first impression.
Improved Job Performance
That’s right — the state of your smile can even impact your performance at work! Studies have found a direct link between oral health and job performance. About 50% of business owners admitted that they are less likely to do business with people with poor dental health. While we wish that wasn’t true, there is unfortunately a bias that exists against people with poor dental health.
Increased Confidence
And let’s be honest — when your smile is great, you feel great! An improved smile can do wonders for your confidence, which in turn, can help you advance your career.
