Dental professionals issued warnings about a dangerous trend promoted by social media influencers involving DIY dental procedures or unproven dental products. Dentists cautioned that following dental advice from unqualified social media personalities could result in permanent damage to teeth and gums. The American Dental Association has repeatedly warned consumers against attempting dental procedures at home or using unregulated products promoted online. Common dangerous trends have included filing teeth with nail files, using hydrogen peroxide concentrations that are too strong for safe home use, and applying DIY veneers. Dental professionals emphasized that proper dental care requires professional training and that damage from these trends can be irreversible and expensive to repair. The trend reflected broader concerns about health misinformation spread through social media influencers who lack medical qualifications.
