TikTok user @theheatherdunn told her 24,000 followers that she has been whitening her teeth with Mr. Clean Magic Eraser for about two years. She also mentioned that every time she goes to the dentist, they always tell her how great a set of teeth she has. She thinks it’s because of Mr. Clean. The video became viral and many people started using Magic Eraser to whiten their teeth.

 

A dentist who goes by the name of The Bentist on TikTok made a video advising people not to do this. He said: “It’s basically foam that’s hard as glass and acts as a really abrasive sandpaper, meaning, yeah, your teeth are white because you scrubbed all the enamel off. So, in fact, no, don’t do this,”
