Having a mouth of neat and white teeth is not only beneficial to health, but also gives people the impression of being young and easy to get along with. This is a recent study published in the daily mail of the United Kingdom.
Unhealthy teeth will make you look 13 years older
British dentists showed a photo to more than 2000 people. In the photo, the model has a bright smile and white teeth. The researchers asked the respondents to estimate the age of the model, and the average age was 31. Subsequently, the researcher showed the respondent another photo of the same model. After special treatment, the model’s teeth turned yellow, stained and irregular.
The respondents estimated the age of the model this time, and the average value was 44 years old. The researcher said: “teeth have a great influence on first impressions. When people pay attention to observing a person, they often start with teeth.
When we meet a person, if his teeth look unhealthy, we will have a negative impression of the person’s lifestyle. ” In addition, people with unhealthy teeth not only look old, but also are unwilling to smile, thus giving the impression of indifference.
Researchers pointed out that smoking, drinking coffee, drinking red wine and not brushing your teeth will produce tooth stains, damage your teeth and make you look old. The survey also shows that people with bad teeth are more likely to fail in job hunting, so their financial status is also worse.
