Yeah, I always consult TikTok for my dental concerns

Many people have decided to forego the dentist and instead have turned to TikTok for oral care advice, which many dentists warn can be very dangerous. 

The tag #DIYdentist, which has garnered over three million views on TikTok, is filled with videos sharing hacks to get perfect pearly whites without a trip to the dentist or the expenses associated with it. The viral videos have prompted dentists to turn to the app to document their reactions to botched dental care and the permanent damage that can result, as natural teeth enamel does not grow back on its own.

  3. Just proves something I've known since I was a young lad when my mother told me every morning as I was leaving for school: "There's millions of ignorant mother-fuckers out there so avoid them, cover your mouth and don't laugh out loud at them".

  4. TIk Tok is the Chinese way of culling the herd in America. It seems to be working quite well.

  5. Maybe if dentists weren't so damn expensive people would be less likely to attempt self dentistry.
