Poll-- teeth whitening pre-interview?

akathisia · Feb 26, 2004

Hey, just curious how many of you had your teeth cleaned or whitened prioir to your interview(s)?

akathisia · Feb 27, 2004

Only 20 people have responded?!? You got to be kidding me! I know there have to be more than 20 SDNers out there interested in knowing ?if? or ?how? people prepped their teeth prior to interviewing!?

It might seem silly to many of you but I?m quite curious about human behavior such as this. I?m very curious to see the end results of this poll and I would like to follow this one with another along similar lines that I believe has the potential to offer some limited, but possibly useful info for future ?interview prepping pre-dents?. Ultimately it would be nice to have a sample size > 100. Please, if you have a second, fill this baby out.

Fun? Fun ?. Fun ?. For Everyone!!!

Thanks

I used Crest Whitestrips before my interview. About four days before I used two per day until they made my teeth ache. It made me feel more confident. (I often use them, but no other form of whitening.) I drink too much coffee so it helps a little.

Honestly...if it makes you feel more confident in the interview, go for it...but let me tell you some of my classmates have horrible teeth, oral hygiene, etc...

white strips here...i saw some nasty teeth at my interviews (by the interviewers) so i wouldn't worry too much about this.

Horrible teeth (as far as staining) is fine, but they STILL have horrible hygiene? That's unexcusable.
