Valentine’s Day 2021: The Secret to Acing Your Date

February is a month filled with conversation hearts, red and pink décor, and, of course, lots of first dates! After all, what is more romantic than getting to know someone better on one of the most romantic holidays of the year? To make a good first impression, popular blogs filled with dating tips would have you think it’s all about the clothes you wear, the cologne or perfume you choose, and how you carry yourself. While all those things are important, research shows the secret to success is a bright, beautiful smile. Keep reading to learn why you should consider a professional teeth whitening treatment before your big date!

Whiter Teeth & A Better Love Life: What The Research Says

Perhaps one of the most telling findings is that nearly 50% of individuals believe a smile is the most memorable facial feature. Additionally, a 2013 study conducted by Match.com found that 58% of men and 71% of women view teeth as the most important asset a date can have. So, what impression is your smile making? According to subsequent research, the answer is more outgoing, confident, and trustworthy if you have whiter teeth!

How to Get A Brighter Smile For Your Date

Struggling with stubborn stains? Feeling self-conscious about unpleasant discoloration? With only a few days left until Valentine’s Day, the clock is ticking to transform your smile. Instead of trying to aggressively brush and floss the yellow tinge away (which can end up doing more harm than good), schedule a professional teeth whitening appointment. In as little as one hour, the powerful, safe whitening agent can brighten your teeth up to eight shades!

Why You Should Opt For Professional Treatment Over Store-Bought Kits

Once learning all about the importance of a bright, beautiful smile in the dating world, your initial reaction may be to head to your local store and purchase an over-the-counter whitening kit. While these products are definitely convenient, they use one-size-fits-all applicators and diluted whitening agents, which deliver lackluster results at best. To really transform the shade of your teeth, it’s best to stick with the professionals!

To boost your confidence, enhance your first impression, and ultimately ace your date, undergoing a professional teeth whitening treatment is the way to go. Contact your dental team today to schedule yours!
