Charcoal Toothpaste <br />Doesn't Whiten Teeth, <br />Says Report Have you heard that charcoal can make your teeth whiter? Turns out this may <br />not be true. Charcoal-based toothpaste is a "marketing gimmick" that may actually harm your dental health. A 'British Dental Journal' report has <br />revealed that most charcoal toothpastes <br />don't have any fluoride to protect teeth. Charcoal toothpastes often <br />erroneously claim to be <br />"anti-bacterial" and "anti-fungal." Because they are more abrasive than traditional toothpastes, they may wear down tooth enamel.
