I Tried Charcoal Toothpaste

I’ve been seeing people on social media trying charcoal toothpaste for a while now and I wanted to try it out for myself. Essentially, it’s supposed to lift stains and make your teeth look whiter within minutes.

The brand I tried is called Avistar. I’ve been using the mint flavored charcoal powder and the peppermint charcoal mouthwash. Both of them are available on Amazon.

For the charcoal powder you just dip your wet toothbrush into it. It does feel a little gritty and the texture can be weird to get used to. But, you can also have some regular toothpaste on your toothbrush when you dip it into the powder and that helps make the texture feel a little more normal. The taste isn’t very strong, in fact it barley has a taste as all.

It is definitely a little messy…

In addition to whitening your teeth, the powder is also supposed to reduce teeth sensitivity and strengthen enamel. Despite the messiness, I do think the benefits are worth it.  And don’t let all the black scare you, it washes away SUPER easily.

After brushing my teeth with the charcoal powder, I use the charcoal infused mouthwash. The peppermint flavor isn’t vey strong, it’s a pretty easy mouthwash to tolerate in my opinion. I definitely don’t mind it and it makes my mouth feel nice and fresh.

Overall, I like it!

At first, I wasn’t sure if I saw a super dramatic change to my teeth, but now they are looking whiter and brighter! And my mouth does feel nice and fresh afterwards. I think it was an interesting thing to try and I wouldn’t be opposed to continuing to use it!

Have you guys ever brushed your teeth with charcoal powder? If not, would you ever try it?
