Charcoal Toothpaste
MYTH This claim is false
The Claim
"You're brushing with sandpaper and wondering why your teeth hurt."
The Truth
The American Dental Association has approved exactly ZERO charcoal toothpastes. Not one.
A 2024 study tested it. Results? It whitens WORSE than regular toothpaste. While scratching the hell out of your enamel.
You’re paying MORE money for WORSE results and PERMANENT damage.
Most of them don’t even have fluoride. So you’re grinding away your enamel AND getting cavities.
Here’s the thing about enamel - once it’s gone, it’s gone. Forever. Your body can’t make more.
That black aesthetic is literally destroying your teeth.
Want white teeth? Go to a dentist. Stop sandpapering your mouth because an influencer told you to.
