A 2021 study published in Clin Oral Invest concluded that in the short term, it might look like your teeth are brighter after using charcoal toothpaste because stains and plaque have been rubbed away. However, in the long term, charcoal toothpaste simply wears tooth enamel down, which can never be re-grown. Then there is the concern about tooth decay. A review in the British Dental Journal from early 2019 found that charcoal provides little protection against tooth decay. In fact, the study found that adding powdered charcoal to toothpaste can actually worsen the state of fillings and get caught in the gums and irritate them.
