Perfect the harmony and aesthetics of your own smile. If the recent hype surrounding teeth whitening products is to be believed, activated charcoal paves the way to a flawless Hollywood smile.
Black powder and toothpaste are supposed to work in a very short time and are usually made from completely natural ingredients. But can activated charcoal really keep its promise of whiter teeth? How does natural whitening actually work?
Here you can read how and why this innovative remedy works.
Reason #1: Activated charcoal absorbs toxins
Although structurally similar, activated carbon should under no circumstances be confused with charcoal. Charcoal is produced as a fuel and emits carbon dioxide when heated. In the worst case, this can be carcinogenic and thus harmful to health.
Activated charcoal, on the other hand, doesn't contain these types of toxins. Rather, it rids your oral flora of unwanted toxins. This property of activated charcoal has been known in medical literature for centuries. As early as the early 1800s, activated charcoal gained traction as a treatment for accidental poison ingestion.
In terms of dental hygiene, toxins can potentially cause unsightly tooth discoloration. The unique, highly porous structure of activated charcoal counteracts this. Similar to a sponge, the individual pores are interconnected. Just as a sponge absorbs water, activated charcoal has the ability to absorb toxins.
Reason #2: The unique structure of activated carbon
Activated charcoal can be a true miracle worker, especially for spotty tooth discoloration. In addition to its porous structure, the black toothpaste contains countless, almost microscopically small edges. These have a mildly abrasive effect. This allows for quick and effective short-term removal of impurities on the tooth surface.
But even in the long term, activated charcoal helps significantly lighten tooth color and achieve a radiantly white smile naturally. Due to the slightly abrasive nature of activated charcoal, its use is not recommended for children or those with dental problems. It is also advisable to inform yourself about the effects on veneers, bridges, crowns, and fillings beforehand.
Reason #3: The right composition of toothpaste makes the difference
Toothpaste is essentially a composition of abrasives, flavorings, preservatives, humectants, colorants, and additives. Common abrasives include silicate compounds, whiting, or marble powder – or even activated charcoal. However, these alone are not decisive for evaluating a good and effective toothpaste. Rather, it is the perfectly balanced interaction of their ingredients that counts. Fluoride is a particularly important component. Fluoride compounds are used for dental prophylaxis. They prevent acid attacks on the tooth surface, such as those caused by bacteria. This can effectively prevent, among other things, periodontitis and tooth decay. Furthermore, fluoride compounds can stabilize weakened areas of tooth enamel, making it more resistant. This very interaction between fluoride and activated charcoal can significantly contribute to a lastingly healthy and radiantly beautiful smile through white teeth.
