In recent years, the concept of having a perfect ‘movie star’ smile
has shifted from a genetic blessing had by few, to an achievable beauty
standard. Thanks to pioneering work in the cosmetic dental industry, not only
is the smile of your dreams attainable, but also affordable. Shakira can be
seen flashing a dazzling pearl white grin in Oral B advertisements on our
televisions, Georgia May Jagger (daughter of Mick) and Lara Stone, Supermodels,
have brought the gap tooth grin back into fashion, with reports that some
individuals have had surgical procedures to imitate this look.
In Japan,
‘fashion braces’ are a huge trend in the Kawaii culture, with many of it’s
followers choosing to have orthodontic braces fitted just for the aesthetic
appeal.
Celebrity endorsement of dental hygiene products can only be seen as a
positive, in my opinion, as it encourages both viewers and fans to consider
these products, and introspectively asses their teeth, and whether or not there
appearance can be improved.
As it is maintenance of good oral hygiene that
gives us great teeth, in the long term, the ‘good teeth’ trend could save the
NHS a significant amount of money, and prevent diseases such as mouth cancer
for many many people. After all, there is nothing more attractive than good
health. Focus on the smile and on dental health in general amongst celebrities
and influential movements and figures is very much an exciting and positive
development.
