You may have heard the claim that charcoal toothpaste can be used to naturally whiten your teeth.
However, there's no proof that charcoal dental products are safe or effective, according to the American Dental Association. In fact, using overly abrasive materials like charcoal can have the opposite effect and actually make your teeth appear more yellow by wearing away enamel and exposing the layer yellow dentin underneath. Remember: always opt for a whitening toothpaste with the ADA Seal of Acceptance for safety, effectiveness, and tooth protection.
Don’t hesitate to ask our team any questions you have about choosing the right toothpaste at your next appointment!
