(NAPSI)-If seasonal festivities are not making you smile, you may want to go see your dentist.

Many people are afraid to smile because they are embarrassed about the state of their teeth. Their concerns may be well grounded.

A recent workplace survey found that 40 percent of respondents indicated that a smile was the first thing they noticed about a person at work when given a choice between that person's smile, eyes, clothing or hair. An overwhelming majority-90 percent-thought that a smile was important to a person's appearance.

When asked what was the least attractive feature about their co-workers, 42 percent said "not smiling," followed by 32 percent who cited "bad breath."

Fortunately, cosmetic dentists can correct a variety of problems that detract from a person's smile and overall appearance. Because it's now more affordable, more people have decided not to settle for unattractive teeth.

Veneers can be used to correct crooked, chipped or worn teeth. Crowns and bridges are an option for over- and under-bites and missing teeth.

Improving the state of your teeth does not just offer cosmetic benefits. It also provides emotional and health benefits. The confidence that people received from a beautiful smile can help them build relationships and can help make networking easier. Higher self-esteem could motivate a person to pursue a new career or ask for a promotion. Dentists who trained at LVI Global, a leading postgraduate cosmetic dentistry training center, say it's very satisfying to see the improvement in self-confidence a new and improved smile can bring.

The holiday season is a great time to meet people and network. Looking your very best can help you make the most of any social situation you find yourself in. See what cosmetic dentistry can do for you at www.lvidocs.com.
