3 Great Reasons To Visit The Dentist Before Valentine’s Day

5 February 2016

Preparing for February 14th!

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, which means lots of planning, regardless of your romantic status. Those going on a first date might be going to the shops to buy a new outfit, those in a relationship might be popping into the florist to order a beautiful bunch of flowers, and those who are single may be getting some spa and beauty treatments in because  – why not?

With this in mind, here at Confidental, your local Surbiton dental practice, we understand that the last place you are probably thinking about going before Valentine’s Day is your dentist.

We don’t sell flowers, chocolates or stuffed teddies, and we don’t serve candlelit meals – why would you need to come? Well, these 3 reasons to visit us before Valentine’s might surprise you:

1.  Bad Breath Isn’t Romantic

Plaque, dead food trapped between the teeth, and infections caused by bacteria in the mouth all cause bad breath. Sometimes dry mouth caused by certain oral infections may also cause bad breath. And yes, you guessed it, bad breath certainly isn’t an attractive feature for most. Visiting us in good time before Valentine’s Day means any oral issues causing you bad breath can be treated in good time, ensuring you’re super fresh in time for your date.

2. Your Smile Is One Of Your Most Attractive Features

You may believe that your figure, eyes or personality are your most attractive features, but actually there is a lot of evidence to suggest that a nice smile is more of a romantic priority than we might think. Did you know:

• 80% of us would be more likely to talk to someone new on a night out if they smiled at us
• We notice a smile first when we meet someone new
• Teeth are the second most attractive and important body feature we notice when judging if we fancy someone
• When seeking someone new, a nice smile is the most important physical feature

So visiting your Surbiton dentist for some cosmetic dentistry, a quick scale and polish or just to check everything is as it should be, could be all you need to guarantee impressing that important date on the big day!

3. Smiling Makes You More Positive

Avoiding smiling because you are ashamed of your smile is bound to make you feel low. There’s no need to feel that way, we can help you get your teeth healthy and beautiful again with either cosmetic dentistry, general dentistry or a combination of both – you deserve to show people your smile! It is also proven that smiling itself makes us feel more positive. Forcing a smile for less than a minute causes our brain to think we are actually happy, and so positive feelings follow. Smiling does make you more positive, so if you aren’t doing it because you’re ashamed or because of a dental issue, let Confidental help you.
