Charcoal Toothpaste – Fluoride-Free, Natural Whitening with Coconut Shell Powder – Black Toothpaste Gentle Effective, 3.52oz

Works and yes, it tastes bad…
I read several reviews before I bought this product. So, I thought I would go through it by the things that were pointed out in other reviews: 1. The taste – It has a slight bitter taste and it’s a little gritty, but they try to help that by giving it some mint flavoring. You definitely don’t want to swallow this, but you shouldn’t be swallowing toothpaste anyway, right? 2. Sensitive teeth – I have sensitive teeth and they have not been bothered by this toothpaste, however, my gums were the first few days I used it. 3. Effectiveness – My husband and I have been using this product for 10 days now. Our teeth are noticeably whiter. We did notice a change after the first couple brushes, but not like some people are claiming. We are both older and our teeth have yellowed and they are gradually whitening. I still look at my teeth and see that they are still yellow, but I think after a month or two of using this product, I will see them being more white than yellow. 4. Bad breath – I don’t have halitosis, but everyone gets a little foul breath from time to time. This product really does reduces bad breath. It doesn’t just mask it with mint like other toothpastes, IT’S GONE. That is a really nice side benefit, considering I bought it to whiten my teeth. I have and will continue to recommend this product. I think it is a much better option than the bleaching trays that make your teeth look patchy and damaged. This seems a safe, natural alternative and one thing I didn’t see anything else mention in any of their review, it makes you teeth super soft, almost like you’ve just come from a dental cleaning. I will be interested to see what my dentist says about my tarter levels on my next cleaning visit. My teeth feel polished after every brushing. I will buy it again.

Works well, but be prepared to throw up.
I’m really torn on how many stars to give this because on one hand, this stuff literally looks and tastes lie $#^&. On the other, it works amazingly well. I’ve used it twice so far, last night and this morning. Full disclaimer, the first time I used it I was so thoroughly disgusted by the look and the taste and the feel of it in my mouth that I threw up right there in the sink. I really don’t think I can stress enough how gross this stuff is. Especially when we’re used to toothpaste having a little different consistency and not smelling and tasting like something you would normally scoop out of the litter box after your cat got into the ice cream.That being said, this morning was a little easier. I think I was more prepared and my expectations were better set. I didn’t throw up! It was still disgusting and I did gag a little but got through it much better. I did notice that my brush was stained a bit so that’s kind of gross.But onto the upside. This stuff works really well. Despite the grossness, my teeth feel cleaner than they have after brushing with any other paste. And it oddly leaves a very clean taste and feel in my mouth afterwards. So, you can understand my dilemma on rating it. But I will continue to use it in the hopes that I will get more and more used to it.Oh, keep those clorox wipes handy too because it will make a mess in your sink.

I really can’t rate this toothpaste highly enough, and no, before you wonder, I didn’t recieve this toothpaste free in exchange for a good review.I bought this toothpaste as a last ditch attempt to avoid a trip to the dreaded dentist.I’d had a sudden onset toothache in one of my molars that no amount of careful eating or Corsadyl mouthwash could budge.Having had some positive experience previously with a Charcoal based tooth powder and tooth ache, I decided to buy this one and give it a go.What appealed to me was that it was an actual paste rather than a powder, which left me hoping it would be a bit less ‘crunchy’ than the Charcoal tooth powder.Fortunately I wasn’t disappointed in that respect, or for that matter in any other regard.The toothpaste has a different, but not unpleasant taste that is both slightly Minty/cooling but also quite Clove flavoured. Personally I have grown to really like the flavour.I’m not sure why, but as another reviewer has commented, unlike lots of other ‘conventional’ toothpaste, this doesn’t leave you the following morning with a Dragon Breath.In respect of its whitening powers, to be honest, I’ve noticed no change in the colour of my teeth but to be fair I’ve not really been looking for any.Where I have however absolutely felt a massive difference, is in the speed with which this toothpaste managed to get rid of a horrendous throbbing tooth ache that I’d had for well over a week.Within about two days of using this toothpaste I could feel the throbbing pain beginning to subside, and by the time I got to 5 days of having used this toothpaste I’d almost most forgotten that I’ had such bad toothache in the first place.Brilliant product that I will always keep in my bathroom for night time tooth brushing.

I bought this product for bad breath that my daughter and i suffer from. Within a week we noticed a different and felt more confident when speaking to people. The other thing i noticed was that my teeth seemed whiter, not sure if that was to do with active charcoal. Only issue was packaging in another language. But over all very happy with results. Clean breath and whiter teeth can’t complain about that.

Well where to start…I’ve been using this toothpaste for 10 days now and I can honestly say I really like it.I haven’t noticed any tooth whitening effect (see my pic attached – the bottom one is after two weeks of using it and my teeth actually look yellower but I hope it’s only lightning 😂) but I can definitely say it reduced the build – up tartar at the back of my teeth. I do have my teeth descaled professionally every three – four months and usually at the end of that period (which is now) I can feel the built-up tartar when I do the “tongue-test’ at the back of my teeth. I can honestly say it has been significantly reduced after using this toothpaste for only 10 days.I like the flavour – herbal with a bit of mint. Not so much the colour (black :)). It also improves the breath (no dragon’s breath in the morning after waking up!) :)However this toothpaste is missing one key ingredient which is the reason why I’m giving it only three stars – it doesn’t contain fluoride which I consider absolutely essential.As the result this will never be my only toothpaste and I’m still looking for my holygrail of toothpaste.
