This is the time of year when those holiday photos are starting to happen nearly daily. I have so many work gatherings that are always wanting a big group photo and so many people also want individual pictures. That means that not only do I have to do a good job as to make sure social media does not make fun of me but I have to look good too. Part of doing this is making sure that the part of the body people are looking at the most is well seen. That would be my face. Now that COVID-19 has hit people are wearing masks and worried about their breath, but they are also noticing the brightness of people’s teeth even more because they have been hidden away. It makes your dental health a forefront issue that people are looking at constantly. This year I found a great product to help me get those great looking picture and I think that it is worth sharing. My new charcoal toothpaste had been the answer for me and I think that it can help a lot of other people out this holiday season and year.
The first time I saw charcoal toothpaste was when my wife brought some home and was excited about something new to try. She liked that it was meant to brighten your smile and also to do it with natural ingredients. She had seen a lot of videos of people making fun of it on tick-tock and let’s face it so had I. My original thought was that this was the stuff they used to film the inc-ing scene from the movie the Patriot. It was funny then, but a little scary at what the toothpaste did to us on the first use.

Yes, charcoal is black and that is exactly the color of your teeth and mouth turn when you use this toothpaste. It is a bit scary at first because your mouth and your toothbrush turn totally black. It is a wild experience, but you know that the brushing is actually a small abrasive that is naturally sanding off the bad parts of your teeth. This is keeping the plaque away and helping to fight gum disease and a lot of other nasty health issues that your mouth can cause if you are not taking care of it.

For me, the best part about my smile slowly getting brighter is that the process was natural and painless. I have used many other different kinds of whitening products and most of them are not a good time. They have always caused my teeth to get sensitive which in real non-dental terms means that they hurt. That is something that I have always felt with whitening strips and the like. That is why using this toothpaste has been so incredibly nice. I am able to get brighter smiling smiles without the pain and it fits into my routine since the toothpaste now has fluoride in it as well.
That means I don’t have to brush a third time through the day to be normal and healthy. I can actually add it in and enjoy my new white and bright teeth without extra work. So give it a try this holiday and see how your pictures look for the new year.
