Here&#8217;s what you should know before brushing the black stuff all over your pearly whites.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why Charcoal?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cCharcoal has been used in health and beauty since the beginning of time,\u201d says Sonya Krasilnikov, D.D.S., co-founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentalhousenyc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dental House<\/a> in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>The carbon ash produced when things like wood or coconut shells burn, charcoal becomes \u2018activated\u2019 (and more porous) when heated. \u201cThis is where the benefits lie,\u201d says Krasilnikov. \u201cBecause of its porosity, activated charcoal is extremely absorbent and, like a magnet, attracts and traps debris and toxins\u2014like undesirable chemicals and gases\u2014effectively.\u201d Known as a \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC1676641\/pdf\/bmj00002-0006.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">binder<\/a><u>,\u2019<\/u> activated charcoal is even used to absorb drugs in the stomachs of people who have overdosed to prevent those drugs from being further absorbed into the body.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>About <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/toothpaste\/N-cp99n7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Charcoal Toothpaste<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Just as it does for our gut and skin, activated charcoal may also have detoxifying benefits for our mouths.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cResearch suggests that activated charcoal can remove surface stains and make teeth appear whiter,\u201d explains <a href=\"https:\/\/macleodtraildental.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jennifer Silver<\/a>, D.D.S., dentist at Macleod Trail Dental in Alberta. The theory is that activated charcoal binds to various impurities, leaving your smile looking brighter. However, there\u2019s not much definitive science on that yet.<\/p>\n<p>While only bleaching products (like peroxide) can truly affect the color of your enamel and underlying dentin, charcoal seems to remove a small amount of surface staining, says Mark Burhenne, D.D.S., founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/askthedentist.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AsktheDentist.com<\/a><u>.<\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/activated-charcoal-teeth-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>I Brushed My Teeth With Charcoal For 2 Weeks\u2014Here\u2019s What Happened<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/toothpaste\/N-cp99n7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Activated charcoal toothpaste<\/a>\u2019s benefits don\u2019t end there. \u201cCharcoal toothpaste may be good for your oral microbiome because it gets rid of some of the nastier things, like bacteria or fungi, that may contribute to decay or other oral issues,\u201d says Burhenne. \u201cBecause it absorbs highly-acidic toxins, activated charcoal can help eliminate bad breath and bring the mouth\u2019s pH closer to neutral.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While not as glamorous as whiter pearly whites, these benefits are important. \u201cBalancing your mouth&#8217;s pH, for example, can help teeth remineralize, which reverses tooth decay and prevents new decay,\u201d Burhenne explains.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Activated Charcoal Toothpaste Concerns<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Since activated charcoal has such a significant impact on its environment, you have to use charcoal toothpaste with care.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe abrasiveness of activated charcoal can actually damage the enamel of your teeth if it\u2019s scrubbed against them,\u201d explains Anatolij Koniouchine, D.D.S., founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/familydentistottawa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rockcliffe Dental<\/a> in Ontario. \u201cIf you are going to use activated charcoal, it\u2019s important to only lightly graze the teeth during application.&#8221;<\/p>\n<!-- Shortcode [rr-products] does not match the conditions -->\n<p>Regularly scrubbing activated charcoal into your teeth could potentially damage your enamel\u2014the top protective layer on your teeth\u2014over time. \u201cOnce enamel is gone, you can\u2019t regrow more\u2014and enamel is essential in protecting your teeth against cavities,\u201d Macleod says. When enamel is stripped away, bacteria enters beneath the surface of your tooth more easily.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Best Practices For Brushing With Activated Charcoal<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Interested in trying an activated charcoal toothpaste? First, check with your doctor to make sure your enamel is strong and healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Then, look for a reputable brand and be very careful about the type of charcoal it contains. \u201cYou can produce charcoal by burning off just about any material, so I recommend a source that comes from bamboo or another natural source,\u201d says Burhenne. Anything made from synthetic materials, or that&#8217;s not ground finely enough, can be more foe than friend to your teeth.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/whitening-toothpaste-peppermint-4-fl-oz-toothpaste\/mym0004\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">My Magic Mud\u2019s Activated Charcoal Toothpastes<\/a> use charcoal derived from coconut shell, along with other natural ingredients like coconut oil, and are some of the most popular pastes in the game.<\/p>\n<p>From there, use your toothpaste just once every other day or so; not every time you brush your teeth. \u201cCharcoal toothpaste should never be considered a substitute for your regular toothpaste,\u201d says Macleod. The key to reaping its benefits is not to overdo it.<\/p>\n<p><em>Pin this infographic for future reference:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\"
