A 'nice smile' tops list of most important physical features
A poll has shown that a nice smile is the most important physical feature for people looking for a partner.
The survey showed that 56 percent of participants regarded a nice smile as an important feature when it comes to attraction between men and women. Personality came out as the outright winner, over all physical features; 90 percent of participants rated a good personality as the most important human attribute.
A smile was closely followed by a person’s face and eyes; features including body shape, hair and height were considered less important.
The results of the survey have been published in tandem with the upcoming launch of the National Smile Month campaign, which is run by the British Dental Health Foundation. The campaign will run from the 15th May to the 15th June. The results of the survey will be used to encourage people to take care of their teeth and gums and adopt a good oral hygiene routine; the survey suggests that a nice smile is a very attractive feature and can be instrumental in a successful personal and professional life.
However Dental phobia is a serious condition that affects a large proportion of the population that does not regularly see a dentist.
