If you think you've seen it all when it comes to viral trends on TikTok, think again. The latest DIY trend involves using a Magic Eraser (yep, the kind you use to remove tough stains from your tub, walls, and stove) as an at-home teeth-whitening technique, but (spoiler) you don't necessarily want to try this one at home.
TikTok user @theheatherdunn has been getting lots of attention on the viral video app for her bright, vibrant smile. She shared that she's always getting compliments at the dentist for her "strong and healthy" teeth, and then went on to disclose her exact method for keeping them that way. She revealed that not only does she avoid fluoride - a proven cavity and tooth-decay fighter - but she also does something called oil pulling and uses a Magic Eraser to scrub the surface of her teeth, breaking off a tiny piece and wetting it before rubbing its squeaky surface along her chompers.
