This is a fad/trend that I have been seeing all over the internet. I was skeptical at first, but after doing some research found out that it really does work. Results may take up to a week and your mouth will probably turn black the first you use it.

A lot over the counter teeth whiteners can make your teeth sensitive over time. Activated charcoal doesn't cause that problem and you can find it on Amazon and in most health food stores.
