    Smile, you’re on ToothTok camera.

    Dentists of TikTok taking a bite out of Hollywood, exposing leading ladies and lads for their high-cost cosmetic dental work.

    Many celebrities with impossibly pretty teeth have allegedly undergone dental treatments to give them whiter, straighter and more uniform chompers. While some use their fame and fortune to catch up on much-needed oral health, such as with braces, others are choosing to widdle their teeth down to nothing and replace them with designer ceramic molds, called veneers.

    Don’t fall for fake dentists offering veneers and other dental work on social media

    The inquiring minds of TikToks often submit stars for an oral investigation, such as Margot Robbie, Taylor Swift and Emma Watson to dentists on the app, asking them for a “veneer check.”

    Dr. Vikas Prinja, aka “The London Dentist,” revealed his th eory about the “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart” singer who allegedly corrected her “crowded front teeth” and “peg-shaped lateral incisors” with a combination of braces and veneers.

    Elsewhere on TikTok, Dr. Rhona Eskander, owner of Chelsea Dental Clinic in London, has said she believes that couture designer and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has previously undergone a gum lift and received a full set of veneers, which may cost upwards of $3,000 per tooth

    Many ToothTok followers have agreed that Cheryl Cole, singer of the British girl group Girls Aloud, has undergone one of the most remarkable dental makeovers.

    One measure of a beautiful bouche concerns the number of teeth exposed when a patient smiles, according to Eskander: Cole’s original smile showed only six unevenly spaced and shaped teeth, but after years in the spotlight, her grin grew to 12 perfect pearly whites.

    Eskander also said that the “Barbie” star’s natural “pointy canines” make it “one of the best smiles I’ve ever seen.”

    “When I’ve been doing smile makeovers patients have been asking me just for this.”

    Dr. Sam Jethwa, the president-elect of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, has seen a similar trend among his patients, he told the Sunday Times.

    “A highly qualified cosmetic dentist will be able to get a pretty good insight into the cosmetic dentistry treatment the celebrity has had. We perform these procedures day in day out, so spotting them is part of our job,” he said.

    “We have moved away from the trend of bright, white Hollywood smiles, with people opting for subtle treatments that leave people guessing. I think this contributes to the popularity of celebrity smile transformation videos.”

    As cosmetic dentistry becomes increasingly accessible to all, other doctors have cautioned against some pricey and unnecessary treatments.

    In a new report, chairman Eddie Crouch of the British Dental Association told the Sunday Times , “When it comes to imitating their idols, users need to be very wary of any DIY ‘hacks’. Some influencers are offering unwary followers an instruction manual for self-mutilation.”

    Jethwa reported seeing one popular TikTok user remove their braces “with a spoon — which goes without saying is incredibly dangerous.”

    “The concern is that these videos are not policed by TikTok, and TikTok users may copy dangerous videos like this, without being aware of the consequences.”
