00:00What actually happens to your teeth if you brush with activated charcoal every day?
00:05Day 1. It looks cool. Your teeth are pitch black, and you're convinced this is the secret to a Hollywood
00:11smile.
00:11Day 3. The surface stains are gone. Your teeth look whiter, but you don't notice the microscopic scratches forming on
00:19your enamel.
00:19Day 7. Things get sensitive. Cold water feels like an electric shock hitting your nerves.
00:25The science? Charcoal is highly abrasive. It's like using high-grid sandpaper on a glass window.
00:32Once the enamel's gone, it's gone forever.
00:35Day 15. The whitening stops. Your teeth actually start looking yellower because the thin enamel is revealing the dentin underneath.
00:43Day 25. The pain is constant. Your teeth have lost their protective shield, and every meal is a struggle.
00:49Day 30. The damage is permanent. You traded your long-term dental health for a temporary social media trend.
00:57Your teeth aren't dirty. They're worn down. Sometimes the natural fix is the most destructive one.
