As a result, it\u2019s one of the largest social media platforms (sitting at the top with Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter). While this app is a great resource for connecting with friends and finding healthy recipes, there\u2019s also a lot of misinformation that spreads like wildfire. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westgatedentalcare.net\/veneers.html\">Veneers<\/a> check,\u201d a dangerous dental trend, has recently been making its way throughout the platform. To learn all about it, and why it\u2019s so serious, keep reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Insight Look at the \u201cVeneers Check\u201d Trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since more and more people are looking to achieve their picture-perfect look on Facetune in real life, it\u2019s not surprising that there is a rising interest in cosmetic dentistry. The \u201cveneers check\u201d trend reflects just that. In short, TikTok users are sharing the before and after photos of their smiles, calling attention to their bright, beautiful, and balanced teeth. Sounds harmless, right? Unfortunately, there are an alarming number of patients who are participating in this challenge who received crowns, not veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Dangers of the \u201cVeneers Check\u201d Trend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As previously mentioned, a large number of people participating in this social media challenge are getting dental crowns, not veneers. Naturally, there are a few concerns this presents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To begin, dental crowns are designed to protect a weak tooth after treating a large cavity or administering root canal therapy. As a result, patients should not be getting a mouthful of crowns. Furthermore, removing large portions of otherwise healthy teeth is detrimental to a person\u2019s oral health, and potentially overall well-being. In fact, some dental professionals estimate that making such drastic changes at a young age could result in these patients needing dentures by the age of 40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Safely Achieve the Smile of Your Dreams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are unhappy with your smile \u2013 whether it\u2019s due to small chips, moderate misalignment, severe discoloration, or something in between \u2013 the best course of action is always to talk to a skilled cosmetic dentist. During your consultation, they\u2019ll sit down with you one-on-one to learn about your smile goals before assessing your dental needs and determining what the best treatment is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westgatedentalcare.net\/\">Westgate Dental Care<\/a>, you\u2019ll be treated by a talented and highly-trained dental team that offers a wide range of smile-enhancing treatments, including teeth whitening, cosmetic dental bonding, gum recontouring, and, of course, veneers.
