How to Remove Plaque and Tartar from Teeth at Home with Activated Charcoal

1. Wet Your Toothbrush
Start by wetting your toothbrush with water. This helps the charcoal powder stick to the bristles.

2. Dip the Toothbrush in Activated Charcoal
Carefully dip the damp toothbrush into the activated charcoal powder, ensuring that the bristles are coated. A small amount is sufficient for brushing.

3. Brush Your Teeth Gently
Gently brush your teeth using the charcoal-coated toothbrush. Use small circular motions and focus on areas with plaque and tartar buildup. Make sure to avoid aggressive scrubbing, as charcoal is abrasive and excessive force could damage your enamel.

Brush for about 2-3 minutes to allow the charcoal to work on your teeth and gums.

4. Rinse Your Mouth Thoroughly
After brushing, thoroughly rinse your mouth with water to remove any charcoal residue. You might need to rinse a few times to completely get rid of the black color.

5. Follow with Regular Toothpaste
For best results, brush your teeth again using your regular toothpaste to remove any remaining charcoal and to freshen your breath.

How Often Should You Use Activated Charcoal?
For plaque and tartar control: Use activated charcoal 1-2 times a week. Overuse of charcoal can be abrasive to your enamel, so avoid daily use.
