With a new platform erupting every day, it is difficult to monitor what is being put out onto the internet. Many people are now turning to influencers for advice, new recipes, and even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.granddentalnaperville.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">dental TikTok trends<\/a>. Before succumbing to one of these fads, consider the following three reasons to avoid them and why it\u2019s best to turn to a professional who can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TikTok Trends: 3 Reasons to Say \u201cNo\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Teeth are unique to each person. Once permanent ones erupt, the goal is to keep them in place for a lifetime. But with the many new fads becoming popular, especially among youth, much damage is occurring to young smiles. Here are three trends that all patients should avoid:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Filing teeth down \u2013 <\/strong>People who want their teeth to appear smaller or prefer a more even appearance are taking nail files to their pearly whites. Not only is this uncomfortable, but it also damages tooth enamel, which can never be replaced. The potential increase in cavities and sensitivity is also real.<\/li><li><strong>Using lemon juice for whitening \u2013<\/strong> Stains can form on teeth for many reasons, and many patients are turning to out-of-the-box solutions to rid their smiles of discoloration. One of these is by using lemon juice. Although results may be possible, they are extremely slow. Not to mention, the acidity found in lemons will cause tooth enamel erosion, eliminating the outer layer of a person\u2019s teeth.<\/li><li><strong>Adding vampire fangs with nail glue \u2013<\/strong> Individuals looking to take on a vampire appearance for Halloween are resorting to a DIY solution to keep false fangs intact. Many influencers are promoting the use of nail glue to hold vampire fangs in place. Similar to super glue, this problem can strip tooth enamel and damage gums. It also increases the chances of cavities and sensitivity.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ways a Dentist Can Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of resorting to any of the previously mentioned solutions, it is best to meet with a qualified dentist in Naperville who can provide high-quality care in a safe environment. Cosmetic dental options are readily available if a patient is looking to improve their smile. Veneers can change the size, the shape, and the color of a person\u2019s teeth, while professional whitening can eliminate stains and discoloration without eroding tooth enamel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, appropriate steps can be taken to create a more even appearance. Whether it is with veneers, with dental bonding, or with gum recontouring, allowing a professional dentist to take proper care of one\u2019s smile will minimize the risk of serious injury and decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Grand Dental &#8211; Naperville<br><\/strong>At Grand Dental \u2013 Naperville, we are a team of professionals who care about a person\u2019s oral health and aesthetics.
