Davids Premium Toothpaste - Charcoal+Peppermint

This is a common misconception, but the activated charcoal used in this toothpaste is actually far less abrasive than most conventional whitening agents. The Davids formula combines charcoal with gentle abrasives like calcium carbonate for effective yet safe whitening. Charcoal works primarily through chemical adsorption rather than mechanical abrasion: its micropores capture and eliminate stain-causing molecules without scratching enamel. Studies show that well-formulated charcoal toothpastes are as safe for enamel as classic toothpastes. You can use it daily without risk.

Most users notice visible whitening within the first to second week of regular use, twice daily. Surface stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco progressively fade thanks to the adsorbent power of activated charcoal. For optimal and lasting results, continue use for at least one month. Whitening will be gradual but natural, without the tooth sensitivity often associated with chemical whitening strips or gels. For deeper or intrinsic stains, professional whitening remains necessary, but this toothpaste excels at maintaining and prolonging results.

Yes, that is actually an excellent strategy! Some people use charcoal toothpaste in the morning for maximum whitening and freshness, then a remineralizing toothpaste like the Sensitive + Whitening in the evening to strengthen enamel. Others use it daily for two weeks, then alternate with a classic toothpaste for a month. You can also use it three to four times a week to maintain whiteness while varying your routine. There is no strict rule: listen to your teeth and adapt according to your needs. The important thing is to maintain regular and thorough brushing for two minutes.

Charcoal toothpaste is generally safe for dental restorations such as crowns and veneers made of porcelain or composite. However, it will not whiten these artificial materials, only your natural teeth. If you have visible restorations, you might notice a difference in shade between your whitened natural teeth and your unchanged restorations. For metal orthodontic braces, there is no problem. For clear aligners, remove them before brushing. If you have specific concerns regarding your dental restorations, consult your dentist before using an activated charcoal whitening toothpaste.
