Charcoal is a mild abrasive and is able to absorb surface stains to some degree. There is no evidence, though, that it has any effect on stains below a tooth&#8217;s enamel, or that&nbsp;<strong>it has a natural whitening effect<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-royal-dental-clinics-blog wp-block-embed-royal-dental-clinics-blog\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"u2dO4OcwWd\"><a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/myths-facts-about-fluoride-toothpaste\/\">Myths &#038; Facts on Fluoride Toothpaste<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Myths &#038; Facts on Fluoride Toothpaste&#8221; &#8212; Royal Dental Clinics Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/myths-facts-about-fluoride-toothpaste\/embed\/#?secret=wk1O6MRTOa#?secret=u2dO4OcwWd\" data-secret=\"u2dO4OcwWd\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cons-of-charcoal-toothpaste\">Cons of Charcoal Toothpaste:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\">\n<li>Abrasive- charcoal toothpaste, not recommended daily as it is too abrasive. Also Using such highly abrasive will cause dental erosion and wearing down of tooth enamel. This eventually results in exposed dentin which makes the teeth more sensitive and look more yellowish. It also causes gingival recession.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lack of fluoride content- most of the charcoal toothpaste brands do not contain fluoride. For effective toothpaste 1350-1500 ppm of fluoride is required to protect teeth against caries. Fluoride is essential for making tooth enamel stronger.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trauma to gums- charcoal particles can lodge in between the gums resulting in inflammation and trauma to the gums.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It could stain older teeth and dental restoration like veneers, crowns and bridges and tooth colored fillings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-often-should-you-use-charcoal-toothpaste\">How often should you use charcoal toothpaste?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some dentists say that you can use it&nbsp;<strong>every month or so<\/strong>, in order to scrub stains from your enamel. Fine charcoal toothpaste won&#8217;t cause much damage to your teeth, and activated charcoal is perfectly safe to ingest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although charcoal dentifrices are getting popular in the market its risks outweigh the benefits as per the limited data available today!
