To date, social networks play an important role in the lives of many people who constantly strive to share every detail of their lives with their followers, although they can often go to unexpected extremes to aspire to perfection.
One of these extreme levels is precisely whiterexia, a new condition that was generated by movie stars, influencers and people who aspire to have a perfect smile to the point of letting themselves be carried away by an unrealistic standard of whiteness in their teeth.
Known colloquially as blancorexia, this is how it refers to the disorder of people who, in their quest to have the perfect smile, reach unrealistic levels of whiteness and are willing to do anything to keep the enamel of their teeth intact.
Their obsession with achieving a white tone on their teeth goes beyond professional opinions and their oral health status, taking actions on their own, buying miracle products and resorting to remedies they see on the internet.

This obsession can lead people to seek more invasive treatments such as veneers or crowns, where you can specifically choose the shade of white you want, even if it no longer looks natural and its placement affects your real teeth.
It is always best to opt for treatments with products that are safe and regulated by professional dentists who care about aesthetics as well as hygiene and oral health.
As the Adeslas Dental Clinic portal warns, whiterexia at extreme levels can seriously damage the teeth, causing:
Sensitivity to hot or cold foods.
Gum and throat irritation.
Dental erosion, this condition is generated by serious damage to the enamel which causes cavities and fractures in the teeth.
