Why We Love This
Activated charcoal helps to whiten teeth and also remove stains. You will see results over time the more frequently you use this.
I like this better than strips and whitening pen.
Ingredients
- ½ Teaspoon Activated Charcoal Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Soda
- 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
- Peppermint Essential Oil (Optional)
- Small Storage Container
Step By Step Instructions
Step 1. Put the 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a small mixing bowl. I left mine in solid form and did not melt it as you want to form a paste. However, you can soften the oil if you find that the ingredients are difficult to combine.
Step 2. Add the 1 tablespoon of baking soda and ½ teaspoon of the activated charcoal powder to the bowl. Be careful with the activated charcoal powder as it’s a fine black powder. It can cause a mess if you are not careful with it.
Step 3. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until a paste is formed. Add a few drops of the essential oil of your choice. I would use a peppermint essential oil as it would have a mint flavor similar to toothpaste.
How to Use
Step 4. Store in the small storage container.
Apply a small amount on a toothbrush. Brush your teeth 3 times a week with this paste for a month to reduce tooth discoloration. After 4 weeks, reduce to once per month.
