This is no recommendation, I'm just blog reporting a story that is bizarre. The Magic Eraser showed me it's power when getting marks off a wall. I question if it is safe to use on teeth but a woman posted remarks about using it to whiten her teeth, "This is a Magic Eraser. Yeah, that’s what I said. I take a little, tiny piece of it and wet it, don’t touch your gums… I’ve been doing it for, like, two years. Yes, I am prepared for all the dentists that are going to come on here and be like, ‘don’t do it, she’s crazy!’ I don’t care. I go to the dentist, and I don’t tell them what I do, but they’re like, ‘you have the healthiest, strongest, cleanest teeth,’ and I’m like, ‘why, thank you.'”
Of course an orthodontist responded, “Excuse me is that a Magic Eraser? Like, she’s afraid of fluoride but she’s cool with using a Magic Eraser on her teeth. A Magic Eraser is actually made of melanine foam. 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.”
Tons of reaction on social.
Keep in mind this is posted on the box about where not to use it, “on the skin or other parts of the body.” More about the story here.
