If You Give a Patient a Teeth Whitening

Most of us have heard the story of “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” about how one event sets off a chain of events. The mouse wanted the milk, then he needed a straw, then a mirror to keep from getting a milky mustache, then nail clippers because he saw his nails in the mirror, then a broom for the clippings on the floor, which makes him want to nap, and therefore need a story read to him, which in turn, makes him want to draw a picture and hang it on the refrigerator that makes him want milk. The story ends with the mouse eating a cookie like a boss. We think teeth whitening is a little like that cookie.


Just like with the mouse’s story, teeth whitening will make you want to peer into the mirror and see how much better you look, then you will be happier and more confident, which makes you more attractive to friends, more-than-friends, employers, professional peers and patrons. Then you’ll be happier because of your improved life, like getting that promotion or romantic partner. Consequently, making more money and being in love will make you want to smile, and if you’re going to smile a lot, you need white teeth. So you’ll return to get a professional teeth whitening like we offer at Carolina Family Dental.

Why Whiten Your Teeth?

The fable of the “If You Give a Patient a Teeth Whitening” that we laid out above has a lot of truth in it, because clean, white teeth have many advantages:

  • Psychological Effects on You. Confidence is a powerful force on your life. Confidence can make you ask for that promotion or date, but it’s more than that. It’s having optimism and walking with your head up in life. It’s not being afraid to smile. It’s taking the stress out of making a  first impression. 

  • Psychological Effects on Others. Stanley Gordon West said, “Smile and the world smiles with you, cry and you cry alone.” That’s a little dark, but the point remains - if you smile, you seem safe to people and like they will be happy around you. That makes you more favored in many aspects.. A nice smile and little confidence can be life changing
