Millennials and Gen Z’s struggling to smile
Research shows 44 per cent of Kiwis feel uncomfortable showing off their smile because of their teeth.
Lumino the Dentists found Millennials and Gen Z were worse than other groups, and are advising caution over aesthetic dental treatments advertised to them on social media.
“Kiwis need to ensure they're correcting any existing issues before embarking on any cosmetic treatments - especially ones being advertised to them on Instagram or Tik Tok, as some of these treatments may not be right for them,” a spokesman said.
“Did you know that you should actually have a full hygiene clean before undergoing any whitening treatments? You may also be causing more harm than good using whitening products without a dentist consultation.”
The research found women were more likely to feel uncomfortable smiling than men.
