A dangerous new trend has emerged on TikTok: its members make their teeth smoother with a nail file. Dr. Benjamin Winters talked about how this procedure can harm.
Bloggers who have tried this method on themselves claim that their teeth have really become smoother, and they themselves have managed to save on dentistry. At the same time, Winters warns that such manipulations with teeth can have negative consequences.
“I am a doctor and I know how much enamel can be removed without harm to health. Fileing your teeth is an action you can never correct, ”Winters said.
He added that participating in this flash mob can be very unhealthy.
If you remove too much enamel, the doctor says, it can damage the nerve, causing severe pain.

In addition, teeth cut at home can become much more sensitive.
Winters urged people dissatisfied with their teeth to turn to professionals, and not experiment with their health at home.
