Hack to get around $10 min

On a computer 🖥 Is easier than a phone.

1) sign into your account.
2) add the item or items you want to buy.
3) add ANYTHING else to hit $10.
4) proceed to checkout where you are entering your card information.
5) copy and paste link to a new window (doesn't need to be incognito) or just duplicate window.
6) go BACK to delete the item you don't want in one window, go forward to confirm checkout after deleting in the other.

I am a dentist as well. There's actually many studies that found charcoal toothpaste is way to abrasive and it does irreversibly destroy enamel. Everyone has different thicknesses of enamel and many other factors that play in. Regardless, the hardness and abrasives of charcoal does remove enamel over time. So yes, it does irreversible damage teeth, but it will effect people at different rates due to many factors. Highly not recommended. If you need this abrasive of a toothpaste to clean your teeth, you are not brushing properly.

I haven't used this one specifically, but I have tried some other charcoal toothpaste. Though I can't attest to any added sensitivity (used once) I couldn't clean the grey out of my toothbrush. Bristles are now permanently discolored. Probably shouldn't use this on my teeth then.

I've heard that all kinds of whitening toothpastes damage enamel, but this is just like with many other things in life: occasional use doesn't do noticeable damage.

I got this paste about a month ago with a CVS deal. I use it 2-3 times a week and it does maintain the surface color well without any sensitivity issues. I use a regular fluoride rich paste at all other times (I brush after every meal).

I have only been using it for... 4 years or so. My teeth are still okay. I think your people must be doing something else. This paste might be gray, but it is not at ALL abrasive.

Suggest a off the shelf whitener. Similar to what's in use in office.

once again..... not abrasive. I know your vested interests need you to get your customers to not do alternate whitening, but just know that people know your game.

Dentists are about as honest and on the level as chiropractors.

I would 100% agree with you if these dentists were advertising on SD for clients / patients. Also how is this vested interest? if anything they should be recommending it so you can see a dentist (preferably them) more often re: the after effects.

Giving advice and suggested alternatives as a benefit to someones health is not vested interest(see: gain)

Always odd that people fight against professional acute information. Even though it's stated that it affects some more than others. You may not be affected now or ever. Still does not take away the fact that it's been found to be too abrasive.

Hi,

Not all these articles support your conclusion of excess abrasiveness. I don't use charcoal toothpaste but I was interested in finding out specifics. Note that I do not find charcoal toothpaste appealing, as some reviewers have said that it discolors toothbrush bristles, so this is not intended to be a full rebuttal, just a counterpoint.

I think the takeaway is that all non-peroxide based whitening products are abrasive to teeth.

I read one of these articles in detail (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/...C8404563/) and although it found that the charcoal toothpastes tested were abrasive, they were not more abrasive than a non-charcoal toothpaste (the Colgate). It also notes that this study used teeth and machine brushing, whereas the McCarty study used acrylic teeth and hand brushing.

Here are the relevant excerpts:

"Results: There was no significant difference in abrasion (P > 0.05) and color change (P = 0.884) among toothpastes"
"Conclusion:The results of this study showed that all the three used toothpastes have the abrasive and whitening effect on the samples significantly. The differences between the toothpastes were not significant."
"Samples in Group A were brushed with Bencer toothpaste (manufactured by Dr. Jahangir Pharmaceutical and Hygienic Co., Iran), samples in Group B were brushed with Beverly toothpaste (Purity laboratories Ltd., Dublin, Ireland), and samples in Group C were brushed with Colgate toothpaste (Colgate-Palmolive Co., Poland) as the control group. Bencer and Beverly are charcoal-based toothpastes."

N.B.: Colgate is NOT charcoal based

"Pairwise comparisons of toothpastes with regard to abrasion. According to the results of Bonferroni test, there were no significant differences in the degree of abrasion in different groups of toothpastes, and the abrasion rates in the groups were almost the same"
"According to research results, Bencer, Beverly, and Colgate toothpastes have the ability to wear enamel after three times of simulated toothbrushing per day for 1.5 months. "
"McCarty et al. showed that activated charcoal toothpaste is significantly more abrasive than other toothpastes (McCarty et al., contrary to us, showed that activated charcoal toothpaste is significantly more abrasive than other whitening toothpaste. This difference in result can be attributed to the material used in the samples [acrylic] and the hand brushing versus machine brushing). In this study, the specimens were acrylic and were brushed with hands. Furthermore, a solution of toothpaste was made of a charcoal capsule in water.[12] A different implementation protocol can be the reason for differences between the results of the two studies. In our study, the samples were teeth and were brushed by a brushing machine."
