Opting for teeth whitening could go down well with people who are on the lookout for love, according to one survey.
A poll by Periproducts discovered that 33 per cent of respondents thought a good smile and teeth are an absolute must when hitting the dating circuit, while 16 per cent of people said they feel better about their appearance if they have good teeth.
However, despite this, the average Brit spends just £5 a month looking after their oral health, FemaleFirst.co.uk reports.
Dentist Dr Jacob Krikor said patients are sure to be pleasantly surprised when they see the impact that cosmetic dentistry or even just a good deep-clean can have on their smile.
"A nice smile gives you self-esteem and confidence when meeting people and socialising," he added.
Earlier this month, Dr Charles Martin, founder of the Richmond Smile Centre in Virginia, suggested that bad teeth could cause people to look less approachable as they will discourage them from smiling.
