Gumpearl's range of toothpaste tablets really only varies in their flavors; Cool Mint, Peppermint and Charcoal. Otherwise, they contain the same ingredients, benefits and amount of fluoride. What sets Charcoal apart, however, is that the toothpaste tablets contain activated charcoal, because it counteracts discoloration. But how does activated charcoal work in toothpaste products and does it really counteract discoloration? We'll sort out the charcoal question in this article!
So first of all, do products with activated charcoal really whiten your teeth ? The answer is both yes and no. Toothpaste tablets containing activated charcoal may provide a temporary visual effect of whiter teeth, but the charcoal has no bleaching effect. Let us explain!
Activated charcoal has the ability to adsorb certain substances, including dyes from food and beverages, which can help reduce discoloration on the surface of the tooth. However, it does not have a whitening effect on the tooth itself or change its natural color. It acts more as a surface stain remover than a bleacher. The effect of whitening teeth through the use of activated charcoal toothpaste may be mild and vary from person to person.
By using activated charcoal toothpaste tablets, you can temporarily whiten your teeth. This also means you can avoid teeth whitening treatments, or at least go longer between treatments.
Gumpearl toothpaste tablets with Charcoal are, like the other products in the range, recommended by the Swedish Dental Association and contain 1450 ppm fluoride for strong and healthy teeth. It also contains xylitol, is 100% vegan and has a mild mint flavor. All Gumpearl toothpaste tablets are also free from palm oil, SLS, milk and gluten, and are completely cruelty free. Also free from alcohol, parabens, plastic and microplastics.
