Sticky Dental Hack Unveiled

USA: Alix Earle (pictured), a well-known lifestyle and makeup content creator, made headlines recently with an unexpected dental hack shared on her TikTok account. While enjoying her vacation in the Hamptons with family and friends, the New Jersey native revealed a unique solution for mending her fractured tooth using an unusual adhesive – nail glue.

Known for her engaging videos, Alix Earle disclosed the unconventional adhesive method she employed to mend her fractured tooth amidst sharing updates about her vacation and daily life. Her authentic relationship with her followers has created a sense of anticipation among them, who eagerly await her lifestyle and makeup content.

Resourceful or Dangerous?

On her influential platforms, Alix questioned aloud whether her dental hack was a bad idea. The daring feat showcased her resourcefulness while sparking both curiosity and admiration among her audience.

Despite the humour and fascination surrounding Earle’s dental hack, a dentist among her followers expressed concern. Cautioning against gluing a tooth, the dentist warned that such a method could potentially lead to tooth infections.

Despite the professional warning, comments continued pouring in expressing surprise and wonder at the unconventional dental hack. Some fans playfully asked about the nature of her teeth, while others marvelled at her casual approach to the situation.

DIY Fangs Cause Scare

Earle wasn’t the first person to pull the adhesive stunt either. Previous Halloween seasons have seen some TikTok users showing off their fake vampire fangs that were secured to their natural pearlies with the help of nail adhesives. 

This DIY approach caused some panic as users struggle to remove the fangs once they are stuck in place. Videos of users attempting to yank out their fake fangs after brushing furiously were circulating on TikTok. Dentists also responded to these clips, strongly urging users not to attempt pulling out the fangs, warning that doing so could lead to severe damage to their teeth. 

The dentists further warned that any form of superglue is poisonous and not intended for oral use. A safer alternative, they advised, would be to opt for denture glue, specifically designed for dental applications.
