Charcoal Toothpaste Review By A Dentist: Carbon Coco, Colgate, WhiteGlo 

To find out all about it, Dr. Grant used charcoal tooth powder for an entire month! What were the results? Does it whiten teeth? Is it safe?
Sadly, no - charcoal tooth powder does not whiten teeth. I used it for an entire month, every night, and as you can see in the video, there was no change in the colour of my teeth.
And no, it is not safe to use. This is because they are too abrasive for tooth enamel and dentine.
Most companies make some outrageous claims about the ability of their charcoal toothpastes and tooth powders to whiten teeth, protect tooth enamel and detoxify your mouth. Ultimately, these claims are all untrue.
Charcoal tooth powders and toothpastes made by the likes of Carbon Coco, HiSmile, WhiteGlo and even Colgate, do not whiten teeth nor do they detoxify mouths. Some have fluoride in their formulations and that may give some protection against tooth decay, but research has also found that the charcoal may absorb the fluoride, rendering it useless.

(Oh and why does it look like other people get white teeth by using these products? The answer lies in the lighting in the photos - look closely and you’ll see that the lighting is almost always completely different, making the teeth qppear lighter)
