Activated charcoal toothpaste is one of the biggest trends in wellness, and this functional dentist thinks it's worth the hype. this article explains everything you need to know for teeth whitening and other activated charcoal benefits.

If you’ve been paying any attention to the wellness industry lately, you’ve likely seen that activated charcoal is everywhere. No, this isn’t the black chunks that you throw into your barbecue grill; it’s a black powder made from coconut shells and other natural ingredients to create a powerful detoxifying agent.

You’ve probably seen the before and after photos on Instagram. Activated charcoal is showing up in face masks and body scrubs, shampoos and energy drinks, and now dental products, including whitening toothpastes and toothbrushes.

As a dentist, I make it a point to stay abreast of current trends, and I have to say: Activated charcoal is totally worth the hype.

More than an all-natural way to whiten your teeth, activated charcoal can also…

balance your oral microbiome
prevent cavities
remineralize teeth
improve bad breath
First, let’s look at the history and benefits of activated charcoal and why toothpaste that contains this powerful ingredient is the next thing you may want to add to your daily routine.

Activated charcoal benefits
1. activated charcoal is known for its detoxifying powers.
Considered to be more powerful than stomach pumping in most cases, activated charcoal binds to chemicals and prevents the harmful substance from being absorbed by the stomach. (2, 3) It’s one of the most powerful detoxifying agents around, which is why it may be able to eliminate bloating and even knock out a bad hangover. (4, 5)

2. activated charcoal is made up of materials such as coconut shells or other sources.
Also known as activated carbon, activated charcoal is created in a high heat process.The end product has millions of tiny pores, and these tiny pores are what trap toxins and chemicals.

3. activated charcoal is negatively charged.
This means lots of substances with positive charges bind to it, including free radicals, toxins, gases, and chemicals, to name a few

New edition to our product range, The LED Smile teeth whitening kit, Instantly whitens your teeth.

The LED light speeds up the teeth whitening process and the mouth tray integrated into the design enables both to be used at the same time.

How Does LED Light Make Teeth Whiter?
LED light works alongside a tooth-whitening agent. The light will not change the color of your teeth if used alone. However, it acts as a catalyst to speed up the reactions when used with a whitening agent. The agent is commonly hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which are both active ingredients. Carbamide peroxide, for example, is a slow-acting bleach that when applied to teeth will react, breaking down into hydrogen peroxide and urea. Urea is a waste product, but the hydrogen peroxide removes superficial stains and deeper discoloration by altering their chemical structure.

Does LED Light Speed Up Teeth Whitening?
Yes, an article published in the Open Dentistry Journal found that light speeds up the whitening process, and is backed up by many other studies. This is found in particular when LED activator light is used in conjunction with carbamide peroxide-based whitening agent gels. Where in the past, UV light had been used as a catalyst to speed up the time taken for teeth whitening to occur, LED light is now a much safer, and more accessible.

8 benefits of Collagen Face and eye masks

1. Rejuvenates eye area:As we already know, protein in our body improves the skin texture, and collagen accounts for 30% of it. Collagen eye masks and eye pads repair the skin tissues and increase the growth of new cells to provide you with a smoother and radiant eye area. Collagen hydrates the eye area effectively and improves its texture. Aside from this, the regular use of collagen eye masks or eye pads protects the skin from sun damage as well.

For more effectiveness, you can refrigerate the collagen eye masks or eye pads at least 15 minutes prior to their use.

4. Treats fine lines:
Collagen in the eye masks or eye pads boosts the production of a protein known as elastin. It helps in improving the elasticity of the skin. Not to mention, elastin also increases the cell turnover that provides you with smoother and plump skin. It reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eye area.

6. Boosts collagen production:
This can be considered as a general point of using a collagen eye pad or eye mask. Collagen eye pads and eye masks boost the collagen production in the body naturally.

Alternatively, to boost the collagen production increases the consumption of vitamin C and antioxidants.

7. More effective than topical products:
Collagen eye masks or eye pads are considered to be more effective than applying the eye care products with collagen. When the product is covered with something, it increases the chances of pe*******on of product into the skin as compared to just topical use. Similarly, mask acts as a barrier for the ingredients and keep pushing them into the skin again. Not to mention, the mask prevents the evaporation of the water and keeps the skin hydrated for a longer time. Thus, use collagen eye masks and eye pads as much as you can.

8. Convenient to use: Unlike spa and medical treatments, collagen eye masks are readily available and convenient to use.

One has to just open the packet of the collagen eye masks or eye pads and place over the eye area as per the instructions and relax.
