Plus, the Washington Post reported that over 33 million Americans lost their job during the COVID-19 pandemic. So, how can you stand out among the competition? Initially, updating your resume, compiling your references, and purchasing a new outfit may come to mind. But what if a bright smile is the key to standing out? Read on to learn how teeth whitening can increase your odds of achieving professional success!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does the Science Say?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Decades of research have proven white teeth can make you look younger, boost your first impression, and start a ripple effective of positivity. But can it also increase the likelihood of landing your dream job? According to a recent study conducted by Kelton Research, the answer is a resounding yes! In fact, when they simulated job interviews, they found that participants who underwent teeth whitening:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Were 58% more likely to be hired.<\/li><li>53% received larger salary offers.<\/li><li>65% were perceived as more professional.<\/li><li>61% were viewed as being more confident.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Store-Bought vs. Professional: Which Is Better?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The benefits of a bright smile are undeniable. However, before you purchase a teeth whitening kit from your local store, it is important to understand what gives professional treatment an advantage. While over-the-counter options use a flexible strip to apply the gel, your dentist uses a custom tray to effectively hold the whitening agent in place. Plus, store-bought alternatives can lead to uneven whitening, tooth sensitivity, and lackluster results. On the other hand, a professional treatment from your dentist can seamlessly (and safely!) brighten your smile up to eight shades in one visit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you only have one shot, it is important to make it count! If unsightly stains and unpleasant discoloration are making your smile less than memorable, it is time to talk to your dentist about teeth whitening options. That way, you can put your best foot forward and set yourself up for success!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boernedental.com\/blog\/\">Boerne Dental Center<\/a>, each member of their team focuses on building trusting relationships, delivering high-quality dentistry, and providing world-class care.
