Stop Letting Poor Teeth Stop You From Staying Connected!
COVID-19 has seen a change in the way we live our lives, and more specifically, the way we communicate. With the closure of hotspots such as pubs, movie theatres and dine-in restaurants, Australians have been spending even more time online connecting with their friends, family and work.
While traditional social media sites have grown, it seems that we want to connect more than just through phone calls and messaging – we want to see each other. The result is a significant boost to video chatting apps such as ‘Zoom’ and ‘Houseparty’, as well as dating apps like ‘Bumble’ which has a ‘video-date’ function.
But are your teeth video-ready?
You Can’t Hide On Video…
In a room full of people, those who are self-conscious about their smiles will usually find a way to avoid their teeth being seen, but video captures everything…it literally ‘zooms’ right in. There’s no hiding those puffy red gums, plaque build-up, or those broken, yellow or missing teeth that you’re so self-conscious about.
You may even find that your dentures aren’t quite fitting right, and every online meeting is coupled with the fear and anxiety that they could ‘pop’ out at any moment. Poor-fitting dentures, usually, are the result of bone shrinkage, which can lead to loose dentures, sore gums, fungal infections, as well as annoyingly ‘essential’ trips down to Coles for some more ‘Polident’.
So, when having drinks with friends and meetings with colleagues online, and you find yourself using an icon or photo instead of the video option, it may be time to consider investing in some professional dental care.
