The aesthetics of the mouth are important in determining overall facial attractiveness. People with a relatively normal dental appearance are perceived as more attractive, more intelligent and more desirable as friends. Although the oral region comprises only 1% of the body area it accounts for 5% of all bodily injuries, and of facial injuries, dental injuries are the most common. A US survey among people aged 6-50 years showed that 1 in 4 had evidence of dental trauma.
口腔美学对于决定整体面部吸引力非常重要。牙齿外观相对正常的人被认为更有吸引力、更聪明，也更适合做朋友。尽管口腔区域仅占身体面积的1%，但却占所有身体损伤的5%，在面部损伤中，牙齿损伤最为常见。一项针对6至50岁美国人的调查显示，四分之一的人有牙齿外伤的迹象。
