Workplace Discrimination – Bad Teeth

People with bad teeth experience a unique type of workplace discrimination and can find themselves in a vicious cycle that is almost impossible to escape!

Why Do Bad Teeth Cause Workplace Discrimination?

Take a second and think about scary Halloween costumes or human-like monsters in horror movies. You will likely picture them with crooked, missing, or deeply stained teeth. For some reason, many of us see imperfect teeth as scary! Unfortunately, bad teeth have a terrible effect on whether or not people get hired. 

Bad teeth and discrimination go hand-in-hand. People tend to see people with bad teeth as being unreliable, having poor social skills, being less intelligent, and even being psychologically unstable! (3) Of course, none of these things are true, but the negative stereotypes tends to cause workplace discrimination. 

Workplace Discrimination – “Perfect People”

People who are seen as attractive don’t have these problems.  A 2017 study found that people who are more attractive are unfairly more likely to be:

• Be interviewed for jobs
• Be hired for jobs
• To advance rapidly through promotions
• Earn more (1)

One of the top causes that determines someone’s attractiveness is their teeth and smile. (2) So if you have bad teeth, it doesn’t matter if you are hard-working, motivated, or a good citizen, the odds are stacked against you.

Insecurities Caused By Bad Teeth

People can sense prejudice and discrimination in the workforce. As they look for work, many people feel that their teeth and smile will keep them from the jobs they desperately need. They lose their confidence and take less risks. Many people feel incapable of finding a job because of their bad teeth.

A dental school in Utah performed a study on a group of some of the most at-risk people. They worked with people who had been recently released from rehab and would likely struggle on their inevitable job search. The students provided free dental work to a percentage of patients and tracked their job search. They found that people who had dental care were twice as likely to get a job as those who didn’t. Unfortunately, not everyone gets an opportunity like this. Most people cannot afford the high cost of cosmetic dental procedures they need to get ahead. 

Cosmetic Dentists Are Too Expensive

Cosmetic dental procedures to fix people’s teeth are insanely expensive. Cosmetic dentists often charge hundreds of dollars for a procedure done on a single tooth! If you want a full mouth reconstruction, you better cough up tens of thousands of dollars. 

People with bad teeth should be able to find work. A ten thousand dollar entry fee into the workforce is unattainable for most! People are tired of this. When people don’t work, they don’t have money for dental care and their teeth keep getting worse and worse! It’s a new form of class warfare! Many people feel like they don’t have options. This vicious cycle has to end!
