With that said, because charcoal is a naturally abrasive ingredient, if you do decide to use activated charcoal toothpaste, dentists agree that you should do so cautiously and sparingly. Brush with it no more than once a week, and not for an extended period of time, even if your teeth feel normal.
Activated charcoal shouldn’t replace everyday teeth cleaning and regular visits to the dentist. Just like Drake said he uses it for high profile nights out on the town.
The important part of brushing and flossing is the physical removal of plaque. The toothpaste you’re using, from a dentist’s point of view, delivers fluoride to teeth. Fluoride in your toothpaste is nature’s cavity fighter and can cut tooth decay by up to 40 percent.
