Who doesn\u2019t want whiter teeth? A bright smile is a winning way to greet the world, and has been shown to have a major impact when we\u2019re on a job interview or a first date. No wonder more and more patients visiting our dentist at Oakhurst Dental Arts LLC
Paul Condello, DMD, FAGD
Jay Gohel, DDS ask about what they can do to achieve whiter teeth. And indeed, there are numerous products and treatments on the market that promise a more glittering smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One entry in this category that our patients ask about is charcoal toothpaste. It seems counterintuitive that a dark-colored substance like charcoal would produce whiter teeth, but that\u2019s the claim that has landed charcoal-containing toothpaste products on the shelves at your grocery store and pharmacy. It\u2019s become popular among people seeking a \u201cnatural\u201d ingredient in a whitening product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Charcoal toothpastes act as abrasives, meaning they are intended to scrape the stains off your teeth or even prevent those stains from occurring. But with repeated use, that abrasiveness also has the potential of wearing away the hard outer shell of the teeth called the enamel, as well as being hard on the gums. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
