Charcoal Toothpaste
Doesn't Whiten Teeth,
Says Report Have you heard that charcoal can make your teeth whiter? Turns out this may
not be true. Charcoal-based toothpaste is a "marketing gimmick" that may actually harm your dental health. A 'British Dental Journal' report has
revealed that most charcoal toothpastes
don't have any fluoride to protect teeth. Charcoal toothpastes often
erroneously claim to be
"anti-bacterial" and "anti-fungal." Because they are more abrasive than traditional toothpastes, they may wear down tooth enamel. British Dental Association, via BBC
