Slobs often say that people who bleach teeth are vain. Slobs also say that people who have their hair done regularly or buy new clothes are also vain. If vanity means taking a bit of pride in one’s appearance then so be it. Actually, the definition of vanity is that of self-importance, conceit, arrogance, or egotism and working towards self improvement is not vain it’s just looking after what you’ve got the best you can, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. After all, when we look good, we feel good and when we feel good we function at our best, and none of the above is a negative.

Dental health is not just about self improvement it’s about maintaining the teeth and gums too. Cavities, gum disease, discoloured dirty looking teeth are all negatives. In fact, clean looking teeth bring out the beauty in a smile and whether it’s right or wrong; this can have a major positive impact on getting that job, or securing that date.

There’s more to teeth than just tools for biting and chewing food, and anyone who thinks otherwise is bonkers. The Brits are laughed at around the western world for having awful teeth whereas the sheer beauty of South East Asia is often attributed to a brilliant white smile, particularly in Thailand. A nice set of teeth is a very powerful tool in modern day society and it will do anyone justice who needs to brighten up their smile to learn how to get the most out of their nashers.
