There is currently a new trend to whiten teeth The trend is : toothpaste with activated charcoal. Activated charcoal in toothpaste is supposed to visually whiten teeth . Touted as a natural whitener by numerous manufacturers , the question always arises as to whether the black powder can really help to whiten teeth naturally or whether activated charcoal even has health consequences.
Activated charcoal works like a sponge. It can absorb toxins and bacteria and bind them to itself. This is supposed to make teeth shine whiter. However, the binding properties of activated charcoal cannot distinguish between harmful and healthy bacteria. Helpful bacteria are also removed from the mouth when brushing.
Powder or capsules for whitening by abrasion
Activated charcoal is available in powder form, as a capsule or as an enriched toothpaste. Although it is said that activated charcoal binds dirt particles and bacteria, it is more likely that activated charcoal also works with abrasion due to its coarse structure. The coarse grains act like sandpaper. They scrub discoloration from the teeth with abrasion and often irritate the gums as a result.
After the first application, the teeth do appear brighter. However, long-term use causes activated charcoal to roughen the tooth surface and enamel. This makes it much easier for plaque and color pigments to adhere. Activated charcoal is therefore suspected of making teeth more susceptible to dental problems and discoloration.
If you use activated charcoal toothpaste, the abrasion is not as strong as As is the case with capsules or powder , you should still be careful and use activated charcoal to care for your teeth. Activated charcoal does bind dirt particles and bacteria, but it is very likely that the activated charcoal in the toothpaste has already bonded with all the other ingredients in the tube. This means that it is no longer as effective in terms of dental hygiene. The risk of tooth decay is significantly increased, as activated charcoal toothpaste also largely does not contain fluoride.
