Avoiding or brushing after eating or drinking these foods can help to reduce visible staining on your teeth. Other methods like brushing with baking soda, or doing oil pulling are easy and affordable ways to help whiten your smile. Our favourite way however, is using activated charcoal for teeth whitening. Organika® Activated Charcoal Powder is an all-natural, pure powder that can be mixed with water to create an easy whitening alternative for your teeth! It can also be used to create a homemade face mask! Even better, it’s ecologically sourced from sustainably sourced hardwood/beech poplar trees, ensuring that no old growth forests are affected. One questions we get asked is if its safe for your enamel? On the MOH’s scale of hardness your tooth enamel measures a 5, our powder is the finest grade and only measures a 1-2, thus, it will not damage your teeth, and does not adsorb the calcium salts your tooth enamel is made of. However, we do recommend you only do this 2-4x a month. Activated charcoal powder mixed with water creates a paste that can be brushed onto teeth to help reduce visible staining. It turns your whole smile black for a few minutes while brushing, which can be quite frightening, but don't worry! Just continue by rinsing with water, then brush your teeth with toothpaste as you normally would. Your smile will look bright, white and beautiful!
