Charcoal Toothpaste : Avistar

Happy Monday! Another week means another beginning. Undoubtedly, one of the things I do most is smile so I wanted to share a new find with you all today: charcoal toothpaste! Brightening our smiles and maintaining our teeth is so crucial for our overall oral health. I’ll be quickly going through some basics behind the benefits of using charcoal toothpaste, some common misconceptions and why you should be grabbing some asap!

Benefits

Using charcoal to clean your teeth and gums is a natural way to whiten and strength your teeth and gums. The charcoal in these products are not the same as the ones you use to create fires, but rather it’s an activated carbon created through a process where high pressure gas is forced into the granules, creating pockets. This is so effective at whitening teeth because of its ability to absorb toxins into the pockets created by the gas. In addition to being able to whiten your teeth, activated charcoal has abilities to level out pH levels in your month, creating a healthier environment.

Common Misconceptions

There are several misconceptions that people have in regards to using charcoal toothpaste. Due to its color, many worry that it will stain their gums, but actually if you buy the right kind, it can be healthier for both your teeth and gums. Some also suggests that because charcoal is so abrasive, it can ruin the enamel layer of your teeth. For this reason, it’s best to not have a DIY at home and use any charcoal to brush your teeth, rather invest in a toothpaste that contains it. and has a formula that is safer. This way, you get the benefits of using charcoal toothpaste without ruining your teeth in the long run. Lastly, some say that using charcoal toothpaste is a short term fix for stains. For me personally, that’s what I want because if we reduce the short term stains, those won’t evolve into deeper stains.

My Recommendation

I really recommend you use a product that is well-known for its effectiveness and safety. I recommend using Avistar’s Natural Teeth Whitening Charcoal Powder with Organic Coconut Activated Charcoal and Sodium Bicarbonate. which is currently on sale! This product is a natural teeth whitening and stain removal activated charcoal toothpaste. It purifies and detoxifies your teeth and gums, while strengthening your enamel, improving gum health and freshening your breath due to the mint flavor. I’ve been using this product to test out the charcoal trend and I actually see a difference in my smile!

BUY IT HERE

The initial time I used it, I have to admit it was hard to grasp. I got it everywhere and didn’t know how much I should use or how long I should use it for. The gritty texture was also something that bothered me. But after a few uses, I got the hang of it and it became a daily routine.  Your smile is probably one of the first things that people notice on you when they first meet you. I always think about that so I try to take care of my teeth as best as possible. Being able to find a product that provides me the solution to whiter teeth is amazing. And you all know how much I love affordability! I used to use whitening strips but they are so harsh on your teeth so I’ve stopped and switch over to this.

While I still go to my normal toothpaste because of time and convenience, I keep this product on my shelf for those days I can tend to my teeth more. Have you tried charcoal toothpaste and if yes, what was your experience?

A million and one thanks for reading — until my next lil’ thought then!
