Wet Your Toothbrush: Start by wetting your toothbrush with water to help the charcoal powder stick to the bristles.
Dip the Toothbrush in Activated Charcoal: Carefully dip your wet toothbrush into the activated charcoal powder, ensuring that the bristles are coated. A small amount is sufficient.
Gently Brush Your Teeth: Brush your teeth with the charcoal-coated toothbrush, using small circular motions. Focus on areas with plaque and tartar buildup. Avoid harsh scrubbing as charcoal is abrasive and can harm your enamel. Brush for 2-3 minutes to allow the charcoal to work on your teeth and gums.
Thoroughly Rinse Your Mouth: After brushing, rinse your mouth thoroughly with water to remove charcoal residue. You may need to rinse multiple times to get rid of the black color.
Follow with Regular Toothpaste: For best results, brush your teeth again with regular toothpaste to eliminate any remaining charcoal and freshen your breath.
How Often Should You Use Activated Charcoal?
To control plaque and tartar effectively, use activated charcoal 1-2 times per week. Avoid daily use as it can be too abrasive for your enamel.
