Xiaomi creates a short-form video to prove that the myth about removing scratches from your phone's screen using toothpaste does not work.

. In the video, Xiaomi takes a handset sporting a display covered with scratches and applies some toothpaste to it. Xiaomi says that the theory behind this toothpaste"fix" is that the substance will polish the convex part of a scratch and fill in the dent. Other websites state that the abrasive quality of toothpaste removes a thin layer of plastic from the display to level out the surface to remove the scratches.

So what can you do about a phone that sports a heavily scratched display? Xiaomi suggests getting professional help and having the screen replaced by a legitimate technician who is authorized to repair the display on your handset.
