I have been doing a lot of research on the hype of using charcoal powder for brushing teeth for a whiter, cleaner smile and I finally found what I think is the best one out there! I got interested in it as a natural alternative to whiten teeth instead of using chemicals. It's different than the charcoal we use for cookouts. The charcoal used for brushing teeth is reheated and oxidized. It's called activated charcoal and has natural adhesive qualities that let it bind with surface-staining culprits like coffee, tea, wine, and plaque, taking them off your teeth for good when you spit it out.
As far as safety goes, the fine, odorless and tasteless powder is okay to ingest, that’s why it’s sold in health food stores in tablet form. In tablet form it is used to clean the gut and detox because it binds to toxins there. I truly believe it can be used daily except for pregnant or lactating women who should do it only once a week because we don't want what is swallowed to then detox the body and have the detox upset the baby.
Youtube is full of videos of people using it and it does look weird for sure. Good news it is easy to clean out so there is no black residue to find later. Lots of companies have charcoal toothpastes, even Colgate has one but the one I use and love is Carbon Coco.
If you are not interested in black toothpaste to whiten your teeth (what a paradox) then my other favorite toothpaste is Himalayan Neem and Pomegranate toothpaste which sounds like a weird flavor but tastes great! It's all-natural and specifically fluoride free. Buy it on Amazon or at the office for your convenience.
