Charcoal and Teeth Whitening

Just the sound of using charcoal in your mouth leaves a bitter taste, doesn’t it? But you will be surprised to know that it actually does not have any taste at all. For centuries, this agent has been used to clean up the body and rid it of poisonous chemicals.

It is also totally safe to ingest! There are quite a few people who ingest activated charcoal when they intake some kind of allergen or gluten added food item. This helps in reducing any kind of intestinal distress or inflammation.

Does it Really Clean up the Teeth?

Activated charcoal has adhesive properties, which means that it absorbs quickly. This means that it can absorb all bacteria, toxins and stains from your mouth.

When you use it for your teeth, it combines with the plaque and absorbs all the toxic chemicals form the teeth and gums. Not only does it get rid of bacteria, germs and bad breath, it also helps in removing yellow stains and preventing gingivitis.
