Does Charcoal Toothpaste Really Work?
The use of charcoal toothpaste has been the rage all over social media now. A lot People swear by it claiming it can give you a whiter and brighter smile. Activated charcoal has been used for many things for thousands of years.
Brushing with activated charcoal can remove surface stains caused by drinking coffee, tea and red wine.
It is believed that it can absorb impurities and toxins. There is no scientific evidence that activated charcoal does any good for your teeth, in fact actually does the opposite.
The American Dental Association has issued warnings that activated charcoal is too abrasive and will wear away your tooth enamel. Enamel is the hardest and highly mineralized substance in your body. It is
the outer layer of each tooth. It is mainly made up of minerals and is responsible for the color of your teeth. Enamel plays a vital role in protecting your teeth from tooth decay. Once enamel is lost, it is gone forever. Your body does not produce more to replace it. It is a concern that using activated charcoal can do more harm than good. Overtime, it can cause sensitivity which can lead to more dental issues.
Along with potentially damaging the enamel of your teeth, another side effect of using activated charcoal powder alone is that you could possibly stain your gums black. Think about it. If you use activated charcoal powder as a toothpaste twice a day, that dark pigment is going to gradually build into your gums.
It is the abrasive property of charcoal that effectively removes surface stains from your teeth and make your teeth appear whiter. The best and guaranteed way to improve your oral health apart from brushing and flossing regularly is to see your dentist and hygienist regularly. You will also need to use products recommended by your dentist made specifically for whitening teeth because safety is always guaranteed when prescribed by licensed dental professionals.
