It’s in Your Smile

Did you know that the first thing people notice when they first met you is your smile? Your smile is the first feature 47% of those who meet you see first. Next is your eyes at 31% followed by your smell (11%), your clothes and then your hair. With this in mind, it is interesting that according to an article in Oral Hygiene, we spend twice as much on hair produces than on dental care. Sure, the results are easier to see, but if you lose a tooth or two your smile will suffer and as well as your wallet. “Americans spend $100 billion annually on hair care products and only $50 billion on dental care products.” Source: http://dentaldude.blogspot.com/2013/12/dental-did-you-know-spending-on-hair.html Wilson C, Get Up, Dress Up, Show Up, Never Give Up (Editorial), Oral Hygiene, November 2013, pg 5.
