More than half of British works say that bad teeth would negatively affect their confidence at work according to the latest research.
Women were found to be more self-conscious of having poor teeth, declaring it had a great impact on their confidence in public.
Younger people were found to be most concerned about the appearance of their teeth and smile, admitting bad teeth would affect their confidence, particularly in the workplace whilst dealing with colleagues and clients.
Sadly, anxiety and general unease around bad oral health is not uncommon. The Oral Health Foundation revealed this year that 87% of those under 35 are made to feel self-conscious about their smile, and only 29% of adults are likely to pose for a photograph with an open-mouth smile.
