Why Activated Charcoal Is Hot – Sometimes, in order to get clean, you have to get a little dirty. This is a concept that humanity has known for thousands of years with a long history of mud baths. If this is not something you are willing to try, visiting a dentist in Woodbridge for example, could be an easier way for you to help get your teeth looking whiter and cleaner than before! Keeping on top of your oral hygiene is more important than many people may think.
But it’s not just about mud anymore. Most recently, the trendy new get-dirty-to-get-clean ingredient is activated charcoal, which has been making its way into the skin- and hair-care products say international brand expert Patrice N. Le Maire.
“In particular, young women � Millennials � have been appreciating the benefits of activated charcoal within the past year or two,” he says. “Now we’re starting to see the ingredient gain ground for women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, as well as men with an active lifestyle, who stand to benefit from a deep and thorough cleansing.”
Activated coal has even made its way into toothpaste. Le Maire, president of Eurochoc Swiss Imports, has most recently partnered with Europe’s Curaprox, (www.curaprox.com), which offers cutting-edge dental wellness products, one of which is called Black Is White. The toothpaste has co-opted activated coal and, as with other beautifying products, is starting to gain ground among the same demographics of the United States.
Le Maire explains why activated charcoal in toothpaste has been a beneficial selling point among Millennials and others.
� It’s natural in two important ways. The activated charcoal whitening toothpaste removes discoloration using activated carbon without abrading or bleaching. You can double up on this by asking yourself, “how long do crest white strips last“, and using some alongside switching to these toothpastes. Black Is White, which can be used as any other toothpaste, has no SLS, no triclosan and no bleaching agents.
“Many younger folks enjoy the all-natural ingredient; we’ve raised a generation of people who do not like too much artificiality in their products,” he says. “And, they do not like to come off artificial, either. After about a week or two of use, the activated charcoal helps your teeth look a natural white � the color of baby’s teeth � and not the super-bright, artificial white offered by bleaching products, which can damage one’s enamel.” It’s always advisable to get advice from your Dentist Endicott regarding teeth whitening treatments before going ahead with over the counter solutions.
� Activated charcoal in toothpaste is a novelty for the DIY generation. To a significant extent, Millennials have had a different upbringing from older generations, and they’re motivated by novel and natural systems of getting the job done.
“Many Millennials were brought up in a do-it-yourself mentality,” Le Maire says. “They were the first generation to be raised with access to the internet, a treasure trove of information that explains to people exactly how things work, enabling them to experiment with raw ingredients. Millennials, and many others who enjoy outside-the-box thinking have learned to appreciate the raw elements of products they use.”
� You can keep your teeth-staining habits. A few decades ago, Americans weren’t the connoisseurs of coffee and wine they are today. The thought of paying more than a dollar or two for a coffee was unheard of.
“Being from France, I didn’t use to have the same kind of access to quality coffee, wine, and other food when I’d come to America in the 1980s,” Le Maire says. “That has changed, as we have seen. But these treats come with a price � stained teeth. As many of us know in Europe, however, brushing with activated coal helps to keep your teeth a natural white.” This method may not be for everyone though. That’s why there are options such as using whitening strips or visiting a Dentist in Georgetown to help get your teeth looking brighter and whiter.
