For some time now, videos have been proliferating on the social networks showing how to file your teeth at home with a file to get a straight bite. Of course, this is a savage act that exposes the dentine, an area of the tooth with many nerve endings. Doing this with a file can cause tremendous pain, damage enamel, promote tooth decay and other diseases.
We are making this announcement to warn you and give you information about the lies that circulate on the internet. You have to inform your children that teeth are not solid or empty inside. There is a first layer called 'enamel' that protects the inside: the dentine, the pulp and the root. Manipulation with a file can be disastrous.And don't forget that a disease that starts in the teeth can lead to infection in other parts of the body.
It is forbidden to file your teeth at home with a file! Trust only professionals
What you need to do to prevent this situation is to tell your children this truth, give you the information. If you want to have your teeth fixed because you think they are ugly, protruding forwards or backwards or too big, come and visit us at our dental clinic. There are dental techniques that are absolutely respectful with the enamel and the dental piece as a whole that will guarantee you to have the smile you have always wanted.
If you are the one who tries to file your teeth at home with a file, you should know that you will only hurt yourself, and the repair of those teeth will be much more expensive than the adjustment of the teeth themselves. Please be very careful with your teeth, and give your children all the information about their care. As Socrates said, "There is only one good: knowledge. There is only one evil: ignorance.
