    A sexy looking gadget, but that is a lot of time to dedicate to getting your teeth white, and what happens when you stop using it?

    Since asking this question I gave charcoal toothpaste a try and also noticed it has now made it to the high street shop 'Boots', which in itself is quite remarkable for any 'alternative' product to achieve.

    Anyway, I do enjoy the charcoal powder, it has a very earthy taste, although I doubt it is a go to product for anyone wanting that fresh minty taste.

    I found it as good as any other tooth whitening paste that I have tried over the years (and paid a small fortune for). I tend to use this at night, where the minty taste of freshly cleaned teeth is not such a requirement, and use my lavera in the morning, to help freshen the morning breath.

    I tried the charcoal toothpaste and couldn’t get on with it, I never felt like I had brushed my teeth.

    I’ve noticed that charcoal toothpaste has become more main stream now, it used to be so hard to get hold of. Although I have to say, I’m never too convinced by mainstream products, it normally equates to toxic rubbish.

    I have also seen charcoal bristle tooth brushes.
    I was told that this charcoal doesn’t actually make any difference it is an illusion because the black paste on your teeth when rinsed off makes your teeth look white as it’s a stark contrast. Once the enamel on your teeth has been eroded you can’t make them white.

    At a recent visit to my dentist I asked about brightening my teeth and he said that you are destroying the enamel on your teeth by whitening them and eventually you won’t be able to get the same effect and will need crowns or veneers to get white teeth

    There is an unhealthy obsession with having unnaturally white teeth at the moment. I met someone the other day and her teeth were so white they looked like false teeth which I’m sure wasn’t the look she was going for!

    I think it certainly breaks down the enamel and causes teeth to become more sensitive, which explain the explosion of sensitive toothpastes on the market.

    Thankfully, I don’t think we are as bad as the US, it seems to be a right of passage to have braces, a nose job and white teeth!
