Flossing Helps Put Your Best Face Forward
A beautiful smile does as much for your appearance and self-esteem as a great lipstick or mascara. So think of flossing as part of your beauty routine. For most people, the best time to floss is after brushing their teeth. But if you are more likely to remember to floss before you fix your lipstick, then you know what to do: Keep a small container of dental floss in your purse with your makeup.
Studies have shown that your smile is one of the most important things that people will remember about your appearance—not whether you are 5 pounds overweight or what color or style of jacket you were wearing. So whether your goal is to impress a potential boss or client, woo your date (or spouse), or to just feel better about your appearance every time you look in the mirror, floss regularly, and don’t forget to smile. As long as you floss all your teeth once a day, you’ll enjoy the dental health benefits of clean teeth and the psychological benefits of a stunning smile.
