Professional dentists have recently come out to say that the methodology is not safe for users. They explained that the method may lead to enamel deterioration and tooth erosion.
In the trending YouTube video, host Genevieve is shown brushing her teeth with the supplement for three to five minutes before rinsing and stating thereafter that she had seemingly whiter teeth.
She then tells the camera that the product she used can be purchased in capsule form in health food stores or even online.
Genevieve explained that the stuff is highly absorbent, describing it even as some of the most absorbent material on the planet. She added that hospitals have the stuff on hand in case someone comes in with a poisoning because it can absorb the stuff and safely remove it from the body.
Michigan-based dentist Dr. Susan Maples explained that there is not enough evidence available to know whether the supplement is beneficial to a person that it may actually be dangerous.
She said that she worry about the long-term effects of the YouTube demo video, adding that teeth are the only part of the ectoderm that does not replenish or heal itself because once it’s gone, it’s gone.
