Tik Tok trends to "NOT" try at home

Everyone is on the TikTok trend bandwagon. It is fun and entertaining and for the most part harmless. As well in these COVID times, many of us don't have a lot of other things to do. There is nothing wrong with making homemade hot chocolate bombs or ice coffee. But it appears a new trend of filing down your own teeth with a nail file is popping up all over the popular app.  As a Dentist at Innovation Dental in Woodbridge  I almost fell off my chair when I saw this. We can't stress this enough. Do not try this at home. Cutting your own hair or filing your own nails is a skill that we all have learned or tried over the COVID lockdown, and let's face it, hair and nails grow back. Teeth do not!  Any mistake that you make is irreversible and very costly to correct. Just an FYI....your canine teeth are not too pointy, they have that shape for a very important reason.. and your teeth are not meant to be totally even. That "very even" look is considered an aged look and can lead to very sensitive teeth. If you want to reshape your teeth please contact your dentist so you can get some professional advice.

Stick to dancing and leave the teeth filing to your Dentist

Please!!!
