This dentist offers free dental tips on TikTok

This dentist is maximizing the use of social media as he continues to share free dental tips on TikTok amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Dr. Hanz Sandoval, aside from being a certified TikToker, is a licensed and practicing dentist.

According to him, he wanted to pursue his profession even while he’s staying at home and educate people about dentistry.

“[I have livestreams] to give free online consultations [to help]. [I’m enjoying answering questions online and I’m meeting a lot of people],” he said in Saturday’s “Pinoy MD.”

Among the topics he already discussed were how braces are attached, how important it is to remove one’s wisdom tooth and building good oral habits.

As of writing, he already has 402,000 followers and two million views on TikTok. He’s also reachable through his Facebook and Instagram accounts.

Other doctors have ventured into using TikTok to give free health advice and sex education while hospitals and clinics continue to be inaccessible for all amid the health crisis. — Franchesca Viernes/LA, GMA News
