Can bad or good teeth make or brake a first impression
Does having good teeth really make you more attractive?
I have a really nice shape and can fit into most anything I want to wear. I am thin and fit. I really try and take good care of myself. The one thing I do not like about me is that I have really bad teeth. I do not know why but I was not born with strong teeth so I get cavities really easy. My teeth also look kind of small and the one in the back look dark.
I really can not fix them up to look nice without it be very costly. I am torn about my teeth and feel they may effect how people see me. It is hard for me to make friend with new people without knowing them for a while first. Also I notice that it seem to be hard for me to find a good job. Okay I know right now is a hard time for that anyway but I feel as if I am being over looked.
My question is just how important is nice teeth in your first impression of a person? My dear friend told me that it is my teeth that is holding me back. She is not saying this to be mean but is it true? Would forking out the money needed to fix my teeth change that much of what kind of impression I make?

I am sorry to say but yes. Bad teeth can make a bad first impression. It is one of the first thing that people see. Without knowing the reason why someone has bad teeth, one may just think it is because they do not take care of them.
Is this fair to make snap judgment like that? Well no but we are only human and I think in my opinion most people do judge on things like that when they first see someone.
I am sure you do too. Maybe not about a person teeth since you know how that is. But maybe on how someone is dressed to give one example. Remember I am only talking about that first impression when you know nothing else but what is in front of you.

You could try fixing your teeth up little by little. Doing what you can afford to do at a time. I think that bad teeth can make a bad first impression. However, please do not forget that there is always the second, third, four impressions to be made.
