When the holidays roll around, one of the things single people often focus on is their relationship status, or lack thereof. This is a time of year when people take stock of their lives, where they’re going, where they’ve been, where they want to be – and who they want to be doing all of these things with. However, if you’re alone in Manhattan, the biggest contemplation might be, “What’s wrong with me?” Have you ever taken the time to consider if your smile is holding you back from finding love?
1. Your Online Dating Success Is Nil
Are you smiling in your online dating photos? Are you revealing unsightly teeth? Maybe you’re offering up tight-lipped or unsmiling photos of yourself that make you appear cold, unsociable, or far more serious than you actually are. Smiles are important to daters, and your potential match is rating you on the focal point of your face whether you like it or not. If you aren’t smiling big in at least one of your online dating photos, you’re doing yourself a disservice and resigning yourself to a lot of solo days and nights.

2. You Get First Dates but No Second Dates
Maybe you have tremendous online dating success – you land so many first dates it must be some kind of record. Do you always get the second date? If you’re wondering why you don’t, start considering the state of your oral health. Do you have bad breath, stained teeth, missing teeth? Did you fudge your online photos to make your smile look better than it actually is and your date was disgusted to discover this deception in person? Yes, true love should be about more than just appearances, and ideally the right person will give you a second chance if you’ve been dishonest about your teeth – but if you lie about your smile, what else might you be hiding?

3. Potential Matches Shy Away from You in Person
There is a difference between playing it cool and appearing like you are completely unapproachable. If you do your best to get out there, visit the bars, the clubs, the social gatherings, the happy hours, the book readings, the networking events, and still nothing is happening even though you meet eligible potential matches, you have to ask yourself what the common denominator is. That’s you. You might be acting warm and friendly, but your unsightly teeth are putting people off. Perhaps you’re acting aloof and disinterested as a defense mechanism before someone judges you on the smile you know needs a makeover. Maybe you’re not laughing as loudly as you might like or chiming in when you should and you’re being overlooked, all because you’re ashamed of your smile.

4. You’re Too Self-Conscious to Make a Move
When you have an opportunity to engage a potential match, do you take it? If you’re thinking about the onion and garlic bagel you noshed on for lunch, pop a breath mint and go for it. If you’re thinking about the silver fillings, holes in your smile, or broken teeth that have marred your smile, get yourself to your Manhattan restorative dentist immediately. With the right smile makeover solutions, the next time you have an opportunity to make a move, you’ll go for it. With gusto and confidence.

5. You Stay Home Because You’re Ashamed of Your Teeth
It may feel like you are suffering alone when you have a broken-down smile or teeth that you’re ashamed of, but there are so many other adults who are in the same situation. They are embarrassed by their smile, and they know how their unhealthy teeth look to others. Instead of enduring rejection and humiliation, they just stay home. They’re out of the dating scene. They’re not even on the social scene. But living like a hermit does not make everyone happy, and you won’t find love if you stay under a rock forever. One simple and accessible solution can truly make all the difference in your life: A smile makeover will make you look younger, happier, healthier, and truly change your life.
