I've been seeing those trendy charcoal toothpastes everywhere and my cousin swears by them, but I'm worried they might be too abrasive. Are they safe to use regularly or should I stick with regular toothpaste?
The big issue is that activated charcoal can be pretty abrasive and might wear down your enamel over time, especially if you brush hard, so dentists generally recommend sticking with regular fluoride toothpaste that's actually proven to protect your teeth! Your cousin might see whitening results short-term, but you could end up with sensitivity and weaker enamel down the road.
