Q. Is activated charcoal effective for teeth whitening?
Hello doctor,
Is activated charcoal really effective for whitening teeth? I see that it is very popular in other parts of the world, while it is still gaining momentum in my country.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
I do get many queries related to activated charcoal. There is neither absolute indication for its use nor evidence for its benefits. I suggest you start with a minimal amount at first. You may try it once or twice a day and continue using it if you get a favorable result for about three weeks. Discontinue immediately in case of an allergic reaction. Thank you.
