I don’t know about you, but one of the first things I notice about anyone I’m meeting for the first time is their smile. This holds true for interviews, first dates, and even strangers on the subway I may only ever encounter in passing. Not only is it easier to feel more comfortable with someone who is beaming back at you, but seeing another person’s genuine, bright smile is also way more memorable than a tight-lipped nod, or a half-hearted attempt at the real deal.

Apparently, I’m not the only one who believes in the power of a good grin. Often, the warm, kind gesture can have a bigger impact than you think. In fact, studies show that most people believe a smile is more important than any other feature — like the first thing someone says, or what they wear, or how they smell — when it comes to making a positive, memorable impression.

Of course, now that you know the power your smile holds, you probably want it to look, and feel its best — I know I do! That’s why we partnered with Pronamel® Strong & Bright to find five hacks to keep your smile strong and bright. Watch them in action in the video below!
