National Smile Month is all about smiling more to reap the benefits smiling has on mental wellbeing, the immune system, and reducing stress. New research from teeth whitening brand White Glo reveals 74% agree being smiled at brightens their day, yet 77% of Brits aren’t happy with their smile.
With insecurities largely caused by stained or discoloured teeth, this can even effect happiness and relationship prospects, with 36% claiming they wouldn’t date someone with bad teeth.
The research also reveals how a fifth would be more outgoing if they had whiter teeth, which could lead to better careers, relationships, and positive life experiences, therefore it’s vital that people improve their teeth and begin to feel confident in their smile.
