The term “Million Dollar Smile” is often thrown around to describe the perfect smile. The beauty of a smile can be contributed to many factors however the largest is by far is clean and beautiful looking teeth. Teeth are a very important part of our facial features. They not only help us chew food but also play an important role in our appearance and whether we like to admit it or not, play a big part in how we are seen by others.
 
Everyone smiles, some more than others, but the fact that we all do is no secret. The better your teeth look, the more confidence you have in showing it off. Individuals with great smiles even reach the point of not noticing when they smile as it’s the self conscious bunch who really make an active effort to not let their teeth show.
