In the age of viral trends, it’s no surprise that TikTok has become a hotspot for beauty and wellness hacks—including dental care. Recently, a wave of DIY teeth whitening videos has been making the rounds. These viral clips show users whitening their teeth at home with everything from lemon juice and baking soda to hydrogen peroxide and even cleaning products like Magic Erasers.

But as fun (and budget-friendly) as these hacks may seem, Dr. Aamir Rafiq of Dental Surgeons Clinic warns: “These trends can cause permanent damage to your teeth and gums.”

⚠️ What’s Actually Happening to Your Teeth?

Many of these homemade solutions are acidic or abrasive, which means they might appear to whiten your teeth temporarily—but at a cost:

• Enamel erosion – Lemon juice, vinegar, and baking soda can wear away your enamel, which protects the inner layers of your teeth.

• Gum burns and irritation – Raw hydrogen peroxide or harsh chemicals can damage the soft tissues in your mouth.

• Tooth sensitivity – Once enamel is gone, you may start experiencing sharp pain when consuming hot, cold, or sweet foods.

• Uneven whitening – Without professional guidance, results are often patchy, blotchy, or simply ineffective.
