Whether you\u2019re job-hunting or applying for an internal promotion, the reality is: you\u2019ve got a lot of competition! If you\u2019re looking for a leg up, brightening your smile with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newusmiles.com\/teeth-whitening.html\">professional teeth whitening<\/a> can help you stand out from the crowd. Here\u2019s how it can increase your chances of professional success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a><a><\/a><strong>What Research Says About Teeth Whitening and Professional Success<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Studies have shown that people who have whiter teeth have more positive attributes than those with stained or discolored teeth in the following variables: financial success, trustworthiness, and professional success.&nbsp; When you\u2019re interviewing for a job, it\u2019s likely with someone you\u2019ve never met before \u2013 so first impressions are important. A bright, white smile can help you look younger and more personable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One study in particular from Kelton Research held simulated job interviews which found that participants with whitened teeth were 58% more likely to be hired. In addition, 53% of them received a larger salary offer, 61% were viewed as more confident in their abilities, and 65% were seen as more professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Showing off your pearly whites portrays you as an outgoing individual who takes care of their oral health and appearance. A smile puts people at ease, and if your employer thinks you look trustworthy, they just might feel like you\u2019re capable of the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Which One is Right for Me? Professional vs. Store-Bought Teeth Whitening<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have seen teeth-whitening products on the shelves of your local convenience or grocery store. In recent years, brightening your smile from home has become increasingly popular for its convenience and accessibility. That being said, just because something is widely regarded doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s necessarily <em>better<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professional whitening is always the best option if you want long-lasting, reliable results. You&#8217;ll be able to brighten your smile by several shades within one session with your dentist or two weeks with a take-home kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth is, using whitening products that haven\u2019t been vetted by your dentist can be dangerous for your smile. And, you won\u2019t even get as striking of results. Your dentist will give you something that has stronger whitening agents than store-bought alternatives that they know is safe for use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask your dentist what professional teeth whitening options they have available at their practice so you can ace your next interview and achieve professional success!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a><a><\/a><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At New U Dentures &amp; Implants, your oral health is in the capable hands of the esteemed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newusmiles.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Mark R.
