00:02 Who wouldn't be impressed by a sparkling smile?
00:06 That's why many of us dream of having pearly white teeth.
00:10 To achieve this, some people have their own solution.
00:14 [music]
00:17 DIY or do-it-yourself veneers?
00:21 Is it effective? And the most important question, is it safe?
00:29 [music]
00:31 They say that if you have a problem, just smile.
00:38 But what if your problem is your teeth?
00:44 What about your smile?
00:48 This is the problem of 31-year-old Shane.
00:55 In 2017, his front teeth were the first to get infected.
00:59 At first, it was painful, it was moving.
01:03 Whatever came in, it was painful, even water.
01:06 I couldn't bear it anymore.
01:10 There were holes, it was deep.
01:13 So I had to pull it out, I had no choice.
01:16 He was just a kid, he was already fond of sweets.
01:20 Aside from chocolate and candy, he often ate,
01:24 even when he was a kid.
01:26 He slowly got better, so his self-confidence slowly decreased.
01:34 And to hide his smile, whenever he goes out, he always wears a mask.
01:39 He lost his confidence, it's hard to talk to him.
01:43 Because, right? He looks ugly.
01:47 It's also hard for him to eat.
01:52 I have a prosthesis, that's why.
01:54 I let him rest for a long time, and he didn't get sick anymore.
01:59 It's like he got stuck, I can't wear it every day.
02:03 This is where Shane discovered DIY or Do It Yourself Veneers that is trending online.
02:10 Let's shape my baby well and stick it to my teeth.
02:14 His promise is, just a little bit, and then you'll get it.
02:20 Let's add cold water, so it'll be quick to wash, my babies.
02:25 Instant false teeth, right?
02:27 Before I used this, I watched how to do it.
02:31 Then, until I learned, I made videos, and then it became trending.
02:36 It's worth 100 to 200 pesos online.
02:41 Resin is the main ingredient of this product.
02:47 It's dissolved in hot water, and then you'll pour it on your teeth.
02:52 Let it dry for a few minutes.
02:58 And in 3, 2, 1, smile!
03:02 It helped me, because I can talk to other people.
03:10 If we're talking about pearly white teeth, it's an achievement for Shane.
03:16 But it's a bit embarrassing.
03:18 Shane's fear of using this product is still there.
03:23 I'm afraid, but it's written there that it's non-toxic, so it's not toxic.
03:30 But we shouldn't use it forever.
03:33 It's not advisable. Just for now, while we don't have a budget.
03:36 The question is, does this product affect our oral health?
03:42 We'll find out later.
03:45 But for now, smile!
03:46 Today, we accompanied Shane to see a dentist.
03:53 Hello, good afternoon. Have a seat.
03:57 Dr. Maureen Inez-Banzano examined Shane's teeth here.
04:02 You put it here.
04:05 How far? Just this?
04:08 In the middle of the examination,
04:14 Doc noticed a dent in Shane's teeth.
04:16 You have an infection, like a small or big one in the front of your teeth.
04:26 So now, to see how big the extent of the infection is, and your other dental caries, I'll have you x-rayed.
04:42 What is the cause of the infection in Shane's gums?
04:45 Stay tuned!
04:47 Meanwhile, Doc Maureen, what are these veneers and why do so many people want to achieve this?
04:55 Dental veneers are a cosmetic dental procedure.
05:00 This is an attractive covering to enhance the size, shape, and color of the teeth
05:09 so that we can achieve the so-called certified beautiful smile.
05:12 There are two types of dental veneers.
05:16 First is the direct veneers that uses nano-hybrid reinforced composite material and is directly applied to the teeth.
05:24 Direct veneers are P8,000 to P10,000 per piece.
05:28 Indirect veneers use ceramic or porcelain.
05:35 Resin cement is used for the attachment.
05:39 Indirect veneers are P20,000 to P25,000 per piece.
05:44 Some experts say that this is expensive if the product is not safe to use.
05:51 It is possible for it to cause an infection.
05:53 Bad bacteria will accumulate in the teeth and gums,
05:58 where dental caries can occur, gum problems, or what we call gingivitis, or worse, periodontitis.
06:08 Because the bite on the DIY veneers is wrong, it can cause TMJ disorder or temporomandibular joint disorder.
06:18 Meanwhile, let's go back to the result of the X-ray done to Shane.
06:23 This is where your moldable crown is attached.
06:29 Here, you can see that it has an infection in the apex of the teeth.
06:36 There was a caries before, and it was always irritated.
06:39 The cavity grew until it had an infection here.
06:44 So, this is a proper treatment, what we call root canal treatment.
06:48 The reason for the infection is possible because of the materials used in the DIY veneers used by Shane.
06:55 It is possible because of the materials he used for his moldable crown or veneers.
07:04 But because it was not approved by dental specialists,
07:09 the teeth and gums were irritated, and the infection reached the apex of the teeth.
07:17 Doc explained that Shane had a periapical infection
07:24 where the infection reached the tip of the root of the teeth.
07:31 Doc also reminded us to consult a dentist for the procedures and products to be used on our teeth.
07:39 It is better to visit a licensed dentist
07:44 so that he can explain and suggest the different possible treatments for your dental concerns.
07:52 Let's say you want to improve your teeth, you can get teeth whitening.
07:57 You can get a small cavity, dental filling, or missing one tooth.
08:02 You can get a removable denture or fix breeds.
08:07 Doc also advised us to make sure to brush our teeth every day so that the problem in our teeth does not spread.
08:14 Prevention is better than cure.
08:16 You should visit your dentist at least twice a year.
08:22 Shane learned that he will not use products that do not consult a dentist.
08:27 It's okay because I checked all my teeth.
08:31 At least I know what I should not do.
08:35 I will just get a denture because my teeth are infected.
08:42 Dear friends, make sure that the products you use on your teeth are safe
08:50 because instead of achieving pearly white teeth, it may be more likely to get infections and other diseases.
08:56 Thank you for watching.
