Review (3/5): Slight whitening at very tips of my teeth. A bit messy to use.
This Activated Charcoal Powder comes in a 2.1-oz round can.
A soft bristle toothbrush (with a wood handle) and a tongue scraper is also included.
After opening the cap, there is a tear-drop shaped "pick" that can be used to lift up the inner lid to reveal the charcoal powder.
This is my first time using activated charcoal as a means to whiten my teeth.
I wet the toothbrush, dipped it into the charcoal, and started brushing my teeth in my normal manner. Bits of the powder sprayed over various areas of the bathroom sink, and as I continued to brush and spit, the sink itself was covered with a combination of water/saliva/charcoal.
There was a taste of the powder (a bit bitter taste) on my tongue as I brushed.
Rinsing with water did not remove all the charcoal in my mouth; so I brushed again with toothpaste, and rinsed with more water. That did the trick.
It took a bit of time to clean up the mess I made.
The next occasions that I brushed using this activated charcoal, I did not brush as vigorously, and made less of a mess, as I adjusted to how to use the product.
In the last 3 weeks since using this, I have noticed the top part of a teeth (the top 5% of it) of the front four teeth are slightly brighter than the rest of the teeth.
The tongue scraper is a helpful addition to my dental hygiene routine.
