2 Pack Dental Expert Activated Charcoal Teeth Whitening Toothpaste
By: Joseph R Nemeth DDS
In this video, Dr. Joe Nemeth, a periodontist, discusses the trend of using activated charcoal toothpaste or powder to whiten teeth. While activated charcoal does have potential whitening effects, no long-term studies have been conducted to determine its safety. The concern is that the abrasiveness of charcoal could thin out tooth enamel, leading to tooth fractures, chipping, or even root damage. Furthermore, the whitening effect may not be consistent on teeth that have fillings or crowns, resulting in an uneven smile. Dr. Nemeth advises caution when using charcoal products and suggests using them occasionally rather than on a daily basis.
