Does Black Toothpaste Work?


Now, the internet has been going crazy over black toothpaste so I was excited to try out Desert Essence's version of charcoal toothpaste. It's actually a smooth grey toothpaste, not black but it has the same effect. When you use it, it makes your mouth grey and your sink too so be warned.




This stuff really works at polishing your teeth. My teeth looked super shiny and white and felt squeaky clean. But I did notice that after a while my front teeth felt sensitive and sore. Ouch!

Listen, this stuff is hardcore and will get the job done but I won't use it that often. I will use the rest of the Desert Essence natural toothpastes.

The Pink Hymilian Salt toothpaste is creamy and not abrasive at all, which I didn't expect but my favorites are the Aloe and Arnica toothpastes.
