Does Charcoal Toothpaste Actually Work?

You've probably seen charcoal toothpaste all over social media, but does it actually whiten your teeth? At Northwest Arkansas Family Dental in Fayetteville, AR, we're setting the record straight.

While charcoal toothpaste can help remove surface stains, it does not change the actual color of your teeth. Worse, it can be highly abrasive, wearing down your enamel over time and actually causing your teeth to appear more yellow, not less.

So what actually works? We recommend KöR In-Office Teeth Whitening, one of the most effective professional whitening treatments available. Unlike over-the-counter products, KöR whitening penetrates deep into the tooth to deliver real, lasting results.
