Dental Alert: Viral Teeth Whitening Trends Could Harm Oral Health, Expert Warns. Watch the video
Many home teeth whitening recipes have been circulated on the Internet. Many influencers have gone viral by doing this. But is it really safe? Renowned dentist and oral health specialist Bruna Conde was alarmed by the home teeth whitening trends that have become popular on social media. And she is right about it.
With the diffusion of recipes that promise white and shiny teeth, Bruna felt the urgency to clarify the risks associated with these practices, in order to protect the oral health of individuals.
This wave of viral videos features at-home teeth whitening techniques such as using activated charcoal or mixing baking soda and lemon. However, it is important to note that these practices have been discredited by dental professionals due to their potential to damage tooth enamel.
The latest trend, which is spreading fast on a popular video app, involves using hydrogen peroxide for mouthwashes and gargles in an effort to get a whiter smile. However Bruna strongly warns against this practice, emphasizing that she is not recommended by dentists.

“The inappropriate use of hydrogen peroxide in the oral cavity can lead to serious consequences for oral health. In addition to unbalancing the oral microbiota, this practice can cause burns and canker sores, and even lead to infections and inflammation in the mouth,” he warns.
Bruna Conde emphasizes that teeth whitening should be done under the supervision of a qualified professional, taking into account the individual health of each patient. Patient safety and well-being should be top priority when pursuing teeth whitening procedures.
