Hello, Dr. Rachel. I’d like to know your opinion on charcoal toothpaste. I have the “Magic Mud” brand and it’s fluoride free and has these ingredients and would like to know your input. Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Solum Diatomeae (Diatomaceous Earth), Xylitol, Bentonite, Organic Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil*, Charcoal Powder (Activated Coconut Shell Charcoal), Mentha Arvensis (Peppermint) Leaf Oil*, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil*, Citric Acid, Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract*, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil*, Citrus Sinensis (Orange) Oil*, Stevia Rebaudiana Extract*, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Citrius Grandis (Grapefruit) Seed Extract, Potassium Sorbate, Xanthan Gum * Organic Ingredients.
Good ingredients overall but some studies show charcoal can limit the availability of minerals. The charcoal can stain your teeth and around existing fillings. Charcoal has a gritty texture that can be too abrasive for everyday use. This abrasiveness can wear down tooth enamel, the protective outer layer of your teeth. Enamel erosion can lead to increased tooth sensitivity and make your teeth appear more yellow by exposing the dentin, the layer beneath the enamel which has a naturally yellow colour. The abrasiveness of charcoal toothpaste can also irritate your gums, potentially leading to gum recession and gum disease.
So glad to have found an Aussie UA-cam channel on holistic dentistry. Greetings from Cairns! What are your thoughts on putting some natural toothpaste in whitening tray and giving myself a 'treatment' every now and again - but using natural toothpaste instead of peroxide? I feel as though it would be similar to a fluoride treatment but using hydroxyapatite instead...and it would give it more time to really soak into the teeth. I currently use MooGoo (Moothpaste). Thanks!
I think that's a great idea to hold it around your teeth for longer and its something I recommend to patients who have whitening trays or retainers to do once in a while. Glad to have you onboard and please subscribe to the channel.
yes, but toothpaste is sold as a product like shampoo and soap and thus does not have to undergo rigorous scientific testing. So they can make claims and pretty much put what they want it in.
@Evolve Dental Healing thank you so much, would it be possible for you to put the 'names' of all the 'not needed' (and bad) and all the good ingredients in info please? the translator makes weird words of it and i'm busy with figuring these informations since years... lots of grattitude from Belgium (so we can read them & check what to avoid)
there are natural toothpastes designed for sensitive teeth such as Grants Sensitive. If you do some internet searches you should be able to find some similar toothpastes.
yes you can get them a supermarkets, pharmacies, health stores and online. Grants, Gem, David's, Cocofloss, Dr Bronner's, Burts Bees, Moo Goo, Tom's of Maine, Kingfisher.
yep, there sure can be a lot of nasty chemicals in them. Thankfully there are so may great natural toothpastes now that will really benefit tooth and gum health because of their active ingredients
So glad I've switched to a natural toothpaste with hydroxyapatite in

Hey doc, is the the nanotech in hydroxyapatite safe? Does it not build up in the body?
Nano in this instance means small particles

It works but be aware that it contains fluoride
