Black Magic: The Benefits of Charcoal Toothpaste

Why does charcoal toothpaste work so well? One reason is that activated charcoal helps remove acidic plaque, which can prevent teeth from being their brightest. It doesn’t rely on a chemical teeth whitening solution – just the whitening and brightening action and power of activated charcoal.

In ancient times, before toothbrushes, or people used Carbon (activated charcoal), they had Miswak and licorice sticks to use for oral hygiene. They rubbed it on their teeth and that is what they used to ensure good oral hygiene.

Your mouth will look black due to the activated charcoal toothpaste and and your sink may get messy, but you one thing that is assured is a very clean mouth. No substance removes acidic plaque from the teeth like activated charcoal. It is helps removes stains, especially those caused by coffee.

One specific Charcoal Toothpaste that works well is Curaprox Black is White Toothpaste.

The activated charcoal in Curaprox makes the toothpaste pitch black, but keeps teeth pearly white by absorbing substances that cause discoloration while hydroxylapatite (HAP) hardens the enamel.

The toothpaste also has enzymes that boost the anti-plaque action of the saliva. Together with the fluorides, this doubles the protection against tooth decay.
