I’d be interested in an update to this thread in 5-10 years as to how the dentist visits have gone during that time… ---

> [@Broomstick](#): > > This reminds me of people who use “black salve” to treat skin cancer on their nose. Sure, it takes care of the skin cancer (and your bleach took care of the stained teeth) but it also removes healthy tissues, sometimes to the point the person not only removes their skin cancer but also their nose, requiring reconstructive surgery. Nah, man, that’s just what Big Pharma ™ wants you to think. Don’t be a sheeple! (If I have to point out this is sarcasm, I’ll cry.) ---

I’m late to this thread, but, [SARCASM] wow, what a wonderful idea. Clean the teeth with bleach. Then, instead of spitting it out, just swallow it. Then, three hours later, anal bleaching ensues. I bet the dentists and the esthiticeans all of the country are in cahoots to keep this information from leaking (ha! a pun) out. [\SARCASM] ---

> [@Tully\_Mars](#): > > Then, instead of spitting it out, just swallow it. It’s funny, but I can’t find anywhere anything about swallowing bleach. Yet that was the claim that led me to the thread. Life is funny ---
