How Safe Are Charcoal Toothpastes?


Charcoal toothpastes are popular — but do they really work, and are they safe?

The truth:

  • Charcoal is abrasive — it can remove surface stains but over time it may also wear down enamel.

  • There’s no strong proof that charcoal whitens teeth better than regular fluoride toothpaste.

Dentist tip:

  • Use a regular fluoride toothpaste for daily care.

  • If you want whiter teeth, ask your dentist for safe professional options.


Be careful — trendy isn’t always better for your smile!
