If you do not already know just how awesome activated charcoal is for your health make sure to check out my blog post: Activated Charcoal – Do you know all of the amazing uses? – DIY and Beyond

You might wonder how something so back could even be used to brush teeth & you might even think something that black could never give you whiter teeth. Well think again because activated charcoal might just change your oral health drastically for the better & it is known as one of the best natural teeth whiteners out there. Activated charcoal also known as carbon or activated carbon has so many great uses for health & adsorbing toxins that most people forget how great it really is for oral health. Activated charcoal has been used for thousands of years & in our home it is a must & gets used for so many issues from stomach issues to skin issues & everything in between, & of course in our DIY oral care as well.

Q: Why is activated charcoal so great for oral care & for whitening?

A:  When using activated charcoal powder to brush your teeth it has the unique ability to draw out & bind with toxins including bacteria & plaque. No toxic chemical whitening solution, paste or anything your dentist office can do even comes close to being as effective at brightening your smile & whitening your teeth as activated charcoal. Activated charcoal turns your mouth alkaline & will absorb & remove acidic plaque from your mouth when used routinely.  And nothing is better at preventing & removing coffee stains & many other stains from teeth, even stains from medications can be gradually removed by using activated charcoal daily.

But guess what, thats not all, “Activated charcoal is an effective home remedy used to relieve the pain associated with dental infections, toothaches, abscesses, gum disease, and canker sores and to promote healing.”

Oil Pulling & adding Activated charcoal:

After reading & researching for my blog several years back, I discovered adding Activated charcoal to my oil pulling routine with raw coconut oil was not only a great idea, but might well be the perfect oil pulling combo, why? AC also has the ability to absorb toxins when swished, & to pull other toxins from the body, as well as whiten teeth, remove stains, kill germs, prevent plaque & heal gum issues.  And combining the Oil Pulling with Activated charcoal can be the answer to getting faster results with less detox side effects, & that  is not always the case with 2 techniques. A warning do not oil pull with added activated charcoal before going to work or out unless you brush your tongue well, because it does turn a blackish gray from the charcoal. Oil pulling How, Why, Troubleshooting, FAQ’s, Information – Coconut oil (Part 1)

I oil pull 20 minutes each time with the added activated charcoal, then I spit the oil out of my mouth into the trash, & brush my teeth with baking soda or another DIY toothpaste/powder & rinse & your mouth will feel amazing, I know you thought your mouth could not feel more amazing than just oil pulling, but it can. (Info here ).

After oil pulling for a while now with activated charcoal I know for a fact it is by far an amazing combo. I have also found it easier to add the spoon of coconut oil to my mouth & as it is melting to use a measuring spoon & dump 1/8 tsp of activated charcoal powder on top (or you could open 1 capsule & pour it in), then start swishing & add a squirt or 2 of colloidal silver to my mouth. I had a few gums that were still receded after a couple of years of oil pulling had fixed all others & this combo finished healing them all & has been amazing for so many issues that just needed the next level of oil pulling.

Oil pulling is so much more amazing when you add just 1/8 tsp of activated charcoal powder to your mouth & oil pulling with both raw unrefined coconut oil & activated charcoal powder for 20 minutes.
If you have mercury fillings or amalgams, other fillings or root canals adding activated charcoal is a great way to further grab & absorb the toxins to be spit out.
If you oil pull with just coconut oil & spit it out in the trash after 20 minutes, the toxic accumulation is also spit out. These heavy metals & other toxins will be easily removed from your mouth & body by oil pulling & spitting it out, thus preventing the toxic metals from being accumulated. And adding activated charcoal takes this to a totally new level with the great ability of activated charcoal to adsorb toxins & gases many times it’s own weight.
