White teeth for the application photo - why the mouth plays such a big role in a career

June 12

OnlySmile works closely with photographers. We often get into conversation and learn things from their everyday work.

One thing makes us particularly suspicious: The photographers report that more than every second customer asks for application photos to have their teeth processed and made whiter. That speaks for dissatisfaction or at least insecurity with your own tooth color.

However, your tooth color will be noticed at the latest during the interview and larger deviations from the photo will not be well received. Read on to find out how you can whiten your teeth in order to convince with your real smile.

Why should dental care be a priority?

Dental care plays a crucial role, not only from a medical point of view - for example to prevent tooth decay. Your dental care is perceived by those around you, consciously or unconsciously.

HR professionals are more likely to choose applicants with whiter teeth. You notice how well-groomed an applicant looks. In the end, the applicant also represents the company.

When speaking in a job interview, for example, our brain focuses primarily on 2 areas: the eye and mouth area. This is where the strongest movement takes place and communication is simplified by facial expressions. However, there is also the focus of concentration and the face determines the impression of the other person.

The opinion about a person, as in this case about the applicant, is formed by many little things and is mainly unconscious. You can actively reinforce a positive impression. That's why you prepare for your interview:

• You pay attention to the clothes, hair, beard and make-up in advance.
• You will find out more about the company and prepare answers to the most important questions.
• You plan your journey including a buffer.

Don't forget your teeth. The following point should not be missing in the preparation:

• You take special care of your teeth beforehand.

One reason why we prepare so well for interviews is because of the following conclusion: If the applicant is well looked after, his documents are also complete and his schedules are organized. He works carefully. The teeth send out signals - along with many other little things. For example, that the job is important to you and that you take your tasks seriously.

If you're applying for a customer-facing job, your appearance is even more important.
