Entrust your smile to a specialist, not a video

Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Dr. Elif Öğüt, a faculty member in Biruni University’s Vocational School of Health Services Dental Services Department, warned that social media-driven teeth-whitening trends and at-home oral care practices can cause permanent dental damage. She singled out lemon-and-baking-soda whitening, activated-charcoal toothpastes, uncontrolled whitening kits and DIY tartar removal as carrying serious risks. Öğüt stressed that enamel loss is irreversible, saying smiles should be entrusted to a professional rather than a video. The warning matters because such trends spread rapidly online, often without clinical oversight. What to watch next is whether consumers shift toward dentist-supervised whitening and whether regulators or dental associations issue clearer guidance on at-home products.
