Um, this trend needs to end ASAP. TikTok users are filing their teeth using nail files and dentists say they’re causing “irreparable damage” to their teeth.
Sisanie shared on-air it's unclear how the trend began, but users have continued to post about their own experiences with shaving down their teeth. Dentists warn that once your tooth enamel is gone, you don’t get it back.
This isn’t the first time that TikTok users have jumped on a teeth-altering trend either. Last month, a “teeth whitening” trend became popular after users said hydrogen peroxide, a disinfectant often used for skin wounds, can be used to make teeth whiter.
