First Impressions …. Be Impressive!

Your smile may be communicating a message that you aren’t aware of before you’ve even had a chance to say a word for yourself. But nobody had to conduct a study to tell you that a smile can affect how others perceive you. Nevertheless, a scientific poll on behalf of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry confirmed that good-looking incisors can give you a sizeable advantage in your professional and social life.

The study conducted by Dr. Anne Beall, a market research expert social psychologist. A cross section of 528 Americans were shown pictures of eight individual before and after undergoing cosmetic dentistry. The participants were asked to quickly assess how the eight people measured up in 10 categories:

• Attractiveness
• Intelligence
• Happiness
• Career success
• Friendliness
• Interesting
• Kindness
• Wealth
• Popularity with the opposite sex
• Sensitivity to other people

The study revealed that getting your pearlies looking their whitest can help you make a splash in your career. And an attractive se of ivories may be just the thing for making a first impression that’ll get that certain some one to notice—and remember—you. In fact, the study found that an attractive smile could make you be perceived as being more intelligent, interesting, successful, and wealthy to others.
