Is activated charcoal too rough for the teeth?
This question is circulating a lot through the blog and question portals of this world. We also think it is a perfectly legitimate question. There are no serious or scientifically proven sources that bring a result on this question. A dentist friend advised us, if someone has sensitive teeth, to dab their teeth with the Black Powder. So that doesn't really mean brushing your teeth, just distributing the activated carbon over your teeth and then letting it work for about 2 minutes. This causes the activated charcoal to be in contact with the tooth long enough to remove any discoloration. In this way, the more sensitive teeth can be spared. It also doesn't hurt to talk to the dentist.
