FORBES:
In addition to social media, Dr. Kahng—the Orange + Magnolia Dental Studio owner in Orange County, CA—credits Zoom for the rise in demand for cosmetic dental work.
“Zoom led people to scrutinize their appearance more closely,” she says. “Additionally, there’s been a shift in what people perceive as ‘normal,’ largely due to social media. Filters have altered expectations, making people believe that certain shades of white teeth are natural, even when they’re not. It’s a strange phenomenon because much of what we see on social media isn’t real. This is also why I avoid posting before-and-after photos of teeth whitening. Real results often don’t match the overly bright, filtered images people have come to expect.”
