How has the pandemic affected how you see your smile?
The global pandemic has affected us all in so many ways, from the way we work, holiday, travel, look, and form connections with others, say the Stroud dentists at Fourways Dental Surgery on Chalford Hill.
A study* of more than 2,000 Brits last month revealed how the pandemic has affected the development of new social connections. Nearly two-in-three (58%) said smiling was important in developing friendships and relationships and believed covering their smile with a face mask has had a detrimental effect on forming connections.
As many as 62% of the female respondents confirmed they had been struggling to form connections with others following the introduction of face masks.
