Although a lot of people are skeptical about it, using activated charcoal is a natural way to whiten your teeth

Research has shown that activated charcoal can actually be helpful in changing the pH and health of the mouth, and as it’s effective in preventing cavities and killing the bad bacteria present in tooth decay and gingivitis.

There are whitening toothpaste that has activated charcoal in them but if you can’t get any of those you can just use straight black charcoal for a deep treatment.

Activated charcoal is one of the most absorbent materials on earth. It helps with teeth whitening and it is a chemical-free way to whiten teeth stained by food, drink, and day to day discoloration.

How to Use Charcoal to Whiten Teeth

— Have two toothbrushes, one for applying the charcoal and one for brushing your mouth out after. A cup of water for rinsing is also helpful.

— Dip a clean, wet toothbrush into the powdered charcoal.

— Lean over the container and quickly put the charcoal-covered toothbrush in the mouth (this is to protect your sink).

— Brush in small, very gentle circles to apply charcoal all over your teeth. Let it sit for 2 minutes.

— Spit and rinse until your mouth is clear of charcoal. (Again, be careful of surrounding surfaces.)

— Wet the second clean toothbrush, brush lightly and rinse.

— Wipe out the sink with a towel before it dries for the easiest clean-up.

It is important to check with your own dentist before using this or any substance internally or orally.
