Wembley residents are the most self-conscious about their smiles, with an average of 2,105 monthly searches per 100,000 people…
A spokesperson from Go Smoke Free:
“Our smiles are one of the first features people notice and remember when they meet us, so it is understandable to want them to look good. Nowadays, you can undergo many cosmetic dental treatments to improve the appearance of your smile and celebrity culture heavily pushes the idea of perfectly straight, white teeth upon us. It is interesting to see that a lot of the towns and cities in the top ten are from the Southeast of the UK. Perhaps this data will lead to a bigger discussion on dental hygiene in this region.”
