What Causes Bad Teeth?

There are no given characteristics that a person should possess in order to be seen as having a smile that is considered to be attractive.

The face and, in particular, your smile are features that are a central focal point and they are the first thing that other people see. What one person believes to be unattractive, may not be felt by someone else, meaning the perception that your smile is not appealing is a personal one. However, if you feel like you do have bad teeth and that they affect your smile our dentists are able to help with a wide range of specialist treatments.

What is typically assumed to be an unaesthetic or unattractive smile?

Crooked teeth, missing teeth or gaps, broken teeth, bite malocclusion, discoloured teeth, receding gums.

Effects of possessing an unattractive smile: low self-confidence and self-esteem. Reluctance to smile with bad teeth or participate in social situations, increased risk of poor dental health or other related difficulties (i.e: speech or eating). Often feeling like people are naturally drawn to the imperfections when looking at or speaking to you. Looking good can help you to feel good and more confident.
