Charcoal was one of the earliest predecessors to modern toothpaste... this is far from a new concept. 

Anything mildly abrasive will "whiten" teeth.

Heck, take some 800 grit sandpaper, and in a couple hours you can get your teeth as white as they've ever been.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

What do you think of this?


Well, 2 things-first, if they are warning against it, it probably works really well, eyn'a?  Can't have something as mundane, cheap and easily concocted by just about anyone-follow the money

Charcoal isn't toxic.  No different than if you ate the bark of a tree... Going to taste like crap, but isn't going to kill you.

Heck, they sell the stuff in capsules for those on cleanse diets.

Well, there you have it, but what else are in those magic capsules?  Just wait, the first tummy ache or child to get a hold of one these bad boys and all hell will break loose.  I'm just saying that the ADA should have been all over this.  They should have had something.

It is funny though, if I, as a dentist, tried to introduce this to a patient, I might as well have tried to rub raccoon feces on their teeth, extolling the wonders. It seems anything we try to introduce to the patients oral cavity that is flavored, new and improved, etc, no matter if it is pleasant tasting, it all tastes like chit to them.  Then you tell them to brush with this mud at home and it will turn your teeth whiter than Stevie wonder's teeth in a black shirt...they can't get enough. 

Point is, if it works, it will sell.  If it scratches ones teeth, they will re-stain faster than you can say moma  natural is an unnatural carnal knowleding snake oil salesperson and the lawsuits will start flying.  Note,  Mutation guy would be here right now except he is busy getting his class action lawsuit ready for tv commercials

don't...don't don't don't don't
