•Prepare: Wet your toothbrush slightly. You can either dip it into activated charcoal powder or apply a small amount (about a pea-sized portion) directly onto the damp bristles.
•Brush Gently: Brush your teeth for 1-2 minutes. Make sure to evenly cover all teeth, focusing especially on the front surfaces where stains are most visible. Use gentle, circular motions to avoid damaging your enamel.
•Rinse Thoroughly: Spit out the charcoal carefully. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with water until it runs clear of any charcoal residue. This step is crucial to remove any remaining charcoal particles from your mouth.
•Follow Up: After rinsing, brush your teeth again with regular toothpaste to ensure all charcoal residues are removed and to freshen your breath.
•Frequency: Begin by using activated charcoal once a day for a few days per week. Monitor how your teeth and gums respond. If you notice any sensitivity or discomfort, reduce the frequency of use. Consistency is key to seeing results over time.
