A fresh haircut. An eye-catching outfit. A new perfume or cologne. These are some of the things you may do as you are getting ready for a date with someone who has really captured your interest. However, there is one thing that can often be overlooked: your smile! Surveys have shown that a nice-looking smile really does influence your dating life. Read on to learn more about the link between your dental health<\/a> and dating, and what you can do to get your smile ready for a date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Connection Between Dating and Dental Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A beautiful smile can do more for you than you know\u2026especially when trying to meet a romantic partner. In a Match.com survey of over 5,000 people, 58% of men and 71% of women said that a good smile is the biggest “must-have” in a partner. The research showed that your pearly whites make more of an impact on someone than your hair, nails, car, or shoes. One of the researchers for this survey believes the underlying reason for this is that teeth are a sign of health and can help people determine how much someone takes care of themselves, whether positively or negatively. Looks like your smile does more than just let someone know you are happy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
