Well if your a dentist and you really care about teeth, Your own teeth and other peoples teeth then seeing beautiful teeth will make you happy and reafirm your belief that you have chosen the right job.
If you are not some freaky dentist then having nice teeth will affect your self esteem to the point where you are more Self Confident. Because if you didnt care about every piece of yourself you are probably not self confident.
It effects you greatly! For example, one who loses his/her teeth at an early age normally has a lower self esteem and does not take care of himself/herself. Also, with poor oral hygiene, the diet is lacking a great deal, so again, your overall general health declines. Plus, with losing teeth there are always infections which can be stressful and if not treated properly with antibiotics, can kill you!

If you don't take care of your teeth- you will have pain.and having pain is mentally exhausting and rather depressing.
Aside from that, not being able to smile proudly is a terrible thing.
Well, I'm not a doctor, but I do know that a healthy smile is definitely good for your mental health. I also know that bacteria can enter the bloodstream through the mouth if dental problems are left untreated and cause all sorts of problems. Hope this helps!
It is odd, but there is a correlation between dental disease with heart disease. Also, self esteem is closely allied with physical appearance, which includes oral appearance. How much do we spend on braces, whitening, dentures and all the various (and expensive) oral cosmetic dental work?
it is the teeth you show to people when you are happy or angry.so it is up to you what you want to show glistenign teeth or dirty one.if you eat lot of sweets daily then watch out you will be loosing your teeth early.when you loose teeth you can not chew food good enough to digest and your body loose nutrition and when body is not well nourished you will feel bad. your mood will be low then.smoking,diabetes ,chewing more sweets and eating pan cause teeth to fall early .also if you keep grudge against any body you are likely to grind your teeth more than often and loose them early.so watch it,and be happy in every situation by bravely facing it and finding solution to it.hurray!
