Activated charcoal has exploded in popularity for teeth whitening. But does it actually work, and is it safe? Here's everything you need to know.
What Is Activated Charcoal?
Activated charcoal is a fine black powder made from coconut shells or bamboo. It's processed to be highly porous, allowing it to absorb toxins and stains.
How Charcoal Whitens Teeth
The porous structure binds to surface stains and plaque, lifting them away from enamel. Our Pharmaceutical-Grade Charcoal Powder is specifically formulated for dental use.
What It Removes:
✓ Coffee stains

Our Whitening Powder uses ultra-fine charcoal that's gentle on enamel. Key safety factors:
• Use 2-3 times weekly (not daily)
