This relatively new trend has been hitting stores all over the\ncountry, and it\u2019s causing dental patients to give them a second look. However, it\u2019s\nimportant to keep some points in mind in order to utilize these products safely.\nTo learn how this method of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westhartforddentalgroup.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">teeth whitening<\/a>\nworks, keep reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Exactly is Activated Charcoal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Activated charcoal is similar to the charcoal you might see\nin your backyard grill, but it also has medical applications. The difference is\nactivated charcoal has been heated up with gas in order to open its pores,\nmaking it easier for it to trap chemicals. You might see it in hospitals,\nhealth food stores, or pharmacies. Its benefits include treatment for\nintestinal gas and lowering cholesterol levels. It is largely odorless and\nflavorless, making it ideal for medical purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When applied to teeth, it\u2019s supposed to bind with stains and\nplaque, allowing it to whiten teeth and make them appear less yellow. Once\nremoved, it takes the harmful materials out along with it. Keep in mind though\nthat it may not work as well on enamel that is deeply stained or naturally yellow.\nIf charcoal whitening does not provide the results you\u2019re looking for, professional\nteeth whitening would be your next best bet for a whiter and brighter smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is It Safe to Use?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is safe to ingest activated charcoal, however it can\ncause damage to your enamel if you are not careful. Furthermore, you should not\nbe using it if you have any open wounds, cuts or abrasions in your mouth. This\nincludes gum disease, which is characterized by red or inflamed gum tissue,\nbleeding gums and gum recession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, it is crucial that you speak to a dentist first\nbefore using activated charcoal products. They\u2019ll be able to confirm if your\nteeth will react positively to it or if you should consider another product or\ntreatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the Steps for Its Use?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by searching for a local health food store or pharmacy,\nthen either grind up the tablets you purchase (typically one to two) so that you\nhave about a teaspoon of charcoal to work with. You can skip this step if you\u2019ve\nbought toothpaste with activated charcoal in it. Once the charcoal is a fine\ndust, add some water to it to form a paste and apply it directly to your teeth.\nMake sure to only dab or tap the mixture against your smile. Leave the\ntoothpaste on for about three minutes so that it can effectively bind to your\nsurface enamel. <strong>Do not scrub the toothpaste on your teeth.<\/strong> This will\nhelp you avoid scratching, chipping or damaging your enamel. Finally, rinse\nyour mouth out with water before brushing your smile clean of any residue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find yourself searching \u201chow to whiten my teeth\u201d\nonline, you might be better off speaking to a dentist directly. Schedule an\nappointment with one today to get all the answers you need regarding teeth\nwhitening and cosmetic dentistry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About West Hartford Dental Group<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westhartforddentalgroup.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Dr. Ukti\nPhadnis and Dr. Ajay Dhingra<\/a> offer many in-office solutions for making your\nteeth look exactly the way you want it to.
