However, the research says otherwise. In fact, one study found that job applicants who underwent a teeth whitening treatment prior to their interview were more likely to receive an offer! Those with beautiful smiles are also associated with positive traits, like trustworthiness, which is crucial in a job setting. Simply put, whether you\u2019re pursuing a promotion at your current company or switching fields entirely, having a healthy, happy grin can help set you up for success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But What If You Don\u2019t Like Your Smile?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you might be wondering, \u201cWhat if I don\u2019t like my smile?\u201d If that\u2019s the case, then there\u2019s no better time to schedule a consultation with a talented cosmetic dentist.

That includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Using a straw when drinking dark-colored beverages, like coffee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brushing your teeth after each meal, including lunch<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flossing and rinsing with mouthwash consistently<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoiding unhealthy dental habits, like smoking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keeping sugar-free gum and mints on-hand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.universitydentalgroup.com\/\">University Dental Group<\/a> doesn\u2019t just treat teeth; we treat people!
