That said, it can be a little bit difficult to really know exactly what it will take to make the best impression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain surveys, however, seem to suggest that having a good smile is one of the best things that you can do. Here\u2019s what those surveys say, and what you can do to give you the smile that you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is The Data on Your Side?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, the dental survey firm DentaVox asked people about what turned them off of a partner. 68% of respondents said that they had decided not to date someone because of an oral health problem. Furthermore, 57% of people claimed to have stopped dating someone because of bad breath specifically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, this comports with some older studies that we\u2019ve known about for a while. A survey conducted by Match.com all the way back in 2013 found that 71% of women and 58% of men said that good oral health is a must have in a potential romantic partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Get a Smile That Impresses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to get a smile that won\u2019t turn off a romantic partner, there are quite a few ways that you can go about that. If your teeth need a lot of help, cosmetic dentistry can address just about any issue you might have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teeth whitening can erase yellow stains, direct bonding can patch up flaws, and veneers can cover up most issues that you may have with your teeth. Cosmetic dentistry is boundless, so you can feel free to ask your dentist about any particular insecurity you may have about your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you\u2019re talking to your dentist, it may be a good idea to get a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kramerdmd.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">checkup and cleaning<\/a> to ensure that you don\u2019t have any plaque buildup. Then pair that with good dental hygiene, and you should have a smile that will put anyone at ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. James Kramer has been working as a dentist for over 30 years, and he loves being able to go home each day knowing that he\u2019s done good for his community. He has a passion for helping patients at every step of treatment, from meeting them for the first time to restoring their smiles to perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Kramer received his doctorate from the Temple University School of Dentistry, and he has since earned Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry\u2014 a distinction earned by less than 5% of dentists In the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions about how good oral health can affect your love life, he can be reached at his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kramerdmd.com\/contact.html\">website<\/a> or by phone at (302) 436-5133.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With Valentine\u2019s day almost here, more people than ever are considering the way that they come off to a potential romantic partner.
