Do Charcoal Toothbrushes Work?

  You've heard of activated charcoal and the wonders it can do for your teeth. Now, there's a new solution on the market — charcoal toothbrushes. If you've not heard of them, you're not alone. However, when most people try one, they rarely go back to using its plastic counterpart. So what's the rage all about, and do they actually work? Let's take a closer look at these trendy modern marvels and see if they're all they're cracked up to be. 

What Is a Charcoal Toothbrush?

  If you've never heard of it, you might be wondering what exactly a charcoal toothbrush is. Simply put, it's a special brush that has activated charcoal-infused in its bristles. The bristles tend to be stiffer, according to some users, but they're also touted for removing more plaque and bacteria than a normal toothbrush from the mouth. 

What Are the Benefits?

  There are a number of benefits to using a charcoal toothbrush. The main one, however, is that your mouth will be even cleaner. Not just aesthetically, either. The infused bristles will help absorb the odor-causing bacteria, so your breath smells fresher without the need for a masking toothpaste or mouthwash. You can still use these products, of course, it's just you won't NEED them to cover odors regular brushing can't remove. 

  If you're looking to whiten your teeth, charcoal toothbrushes can help. Activated charcoal is known as a whitener, so you can skip the chemical treatments or strips. 

  Plus, Seek Bamboo's brushes feature an eco-friendly handle made from 100% bamboo pulp. A natural water repellant, you don't have to worry much about mildew or mold forming on your brush. It's a good idea to keep it out of standing water, though. 

Do I Need to Use a Special Toothpaste?

  Technically, no, you don't. You can reap the benefits of the activated charcoal within the bristles without needing a special paste. However, if you're looking for a natural toothpaste product, a tablet or powder from Seek Bamboo can help increase cleanliness. You can also still use regular toothpaste if you choose. But why not combine the power of Activated Charcoal with our Activated Organic Charcoal Powder Toothpaste. Experience the full power of Charcoal Benefits today!

Does Everyone Have the Same Results?

  No, just like any other type of treatment or natural product, the results may vary. Some people see whiter teeth or notice fresher breath immediately, while others require a few days or even a few weeks before any visible changes occur. Some people may not see dramatic results when it comes to whitening, for example, but over time with consistent use, they do notice a change. For some, the true benefit is in a fresher breath that lasts longer, thanks to the charcoal toothbrushes absorbing the bacteria and odors rather than just pushing them around. 

  Some people claim to have more success with activated charcoal powder, but experience success with the benefits of the charcoal toothbrush as well. 

  To answer the original article question: do charcoal toothbrushes work, the evidence — the many benefits touted — points to yes. Many people who've bought them swear by the brushes and continue to use them as part of their daily brushing routine. The only real way to see if they will work for you is to try one — so what are you waiting for?
