The Charcoal Brushing Craze – You Did What To Your Teeth?

Most people want a whiter smile and they pay big dollars to get it. Between expensive over the counter brands and regular visits to the dentist, you can easily spend hundreds of dollars several times per year on whitening your smile. What if you could whiten your smile for around a buck or two? This lady brushes her teeth with activated charcoal on a regular basis and her smile looks pretty radiant.

The first time I heard of the charcoal brushing craze, I was a bit taken aback. The thought of putting nasty charcoal in your mouth sounded not only nasty, but downright crazy. Then I started reading up on it and considering the science.

Activated charcoal is the same stuff they use to absorb poison when you ingest it. It “sops up” everything it touches it would seem and that also includes tarter, stains and other dental enemies. All the things that ruin our smiles and turns them yellow can be taken care of of with charcoal. (Or that is the claim)

I will let you be the judge after watching the video below, but I am going to give it a shot. The logic is there and their are certainly no reasons to be afraid to try. Granted you will get some funky looking teeth for a short time while you brush but I doubt you will be having any company when you do it.

On second thought, you could have a little fun with the hubby or a good friend, right?

Anyway, check out the video below and if you want the stuff they use you can pick it up right here. It actually can be used for many other things too so this is a great bargain. You get two containers for less than $15. Compare that to a trip to the dentist or whitening strips.
