Does anyone happen to know if brushing your teeth with charcoal will stain a tooth implant?

It does not stain implants, it makes them whiter. It made my implants white faster than my regular teeth, but my implants are less than a year old, so they are not stained as much as my regular teeth.

I've only brushed with charcoal about 4-5 times but haven't seen any staining yet.

No, some dentist haveused charcoal as a cleaner for years. Only use a couple times a week. Kills bad breath instantly.

Brian, I think any whitening action would be accomplished by the toothpaste and/or mouthwash you use. The brushing action of the Sonicare is aggressive enough that it should remove surface stains but YMMV :).

It certainly does not stain my teeth, and I use tons of it because of using excess whitening gel in the first place. I use it quite liberally and have had no staining.

Yes, I made a temp tooth while waiting to finish implant process. It is extremely white,so I soaked it in black coffee till desired color was achieved. Close to natural tooth color for me was after about an hour.

No. I have crowns and amalgam fillings and I did not encounter any issues using this products. I actually started using it because of my fillings.

No, it will not stain your teeth. It is a clear liquid. Recommend not using the mint oil though, it's an oil. Then it will be tasteless too.

It did mine! I even took pics and had my husband look at them. I had him tell me if the teeth in the pictures looked different, and if so, which pic had the whiter teeth. Even he could see a difference. I broke open the capsule, dipped a wet toothbrush in the powder and brushed for 5 straight minutes.

It did not stain my teeth. I gave it two washings before cooking. The water was still coloured but I had no staining of teeth.

My teeth is discolored because I drink a lot of coffee, I have use this product daily and have seen results. My teeth are getting whiter, but I also use the whitening pen everyday too. I really can't speak for anyone else, but if you do drink a lot of tea, coffee, or other teeth straining products, your teeth won't stay white and you will have to apply the product often.

I just did some checking on line when I read this. I read an article on abcactionnews.com that said hygienists said the microbeads are polyethylene and can trap bacteria and cause gum disease. P&G; (Crest) spokesperson said their products would be free of this by March 2016. Also not only is it bad for you, it is bad for the environment. I like this product, but I am not going to buy it until I know for sure it is free of these beads.

You can use it by itself no problem. Once in a while I like to mix it with activated charcoal and rub my gums before bed time.

I've experienced the staining. Recommend wiping the face of the pads wit mineral spirits before using.

I think it depends on your lifestyle. I wasn't very good about using them continually but they do work. In addition I have a Crest whitening toothpaste and mouth rinse. One you get them white, use the whitening toothpaste.I drink dark soda a lot and that stains - I was told to drink through a straw. If a person drinks coffee or smokes, they will need it more. But it is worth the money and waaaaay cheaper her than in the store. Hope this helps.

I'm not an expert but I'm sure it doesn't because dentures are made one colour and I don't think they'd change it. Whereas in teeth they effectively bleach the teeth to make them whiter. Don't know for definite though

No. It doesn't strip the enamel from your teeth, which is why store bought teeth whitening is so bad for your teeth. The activated charcoal pulls impurities from your teeth, which doesn't cause sensitivity at all.

I have a missing front tooth that I use temptooth for. (this product is awesome by the way totally worth the money!!) I leave mine in to eat all the time. It says not to but you can do it. as long as the tooth is in tight enough and you aren't eating something real sticky or gooey. A couple of times I ate something that was kind of sticky or gooey and my tooth came out in the food. I felt it right away both times and was able to just put it back in real quick without anyone noticing and was just real careful while eating the rest of whatever it was I was eating. At first I thought I shouldn't leave it in when eating something that could stain it like spaghetti with the red tomato sauce that it would stain it but I have left it in when eating these types of things and it hasn't stained it at least not where it is noticeable. I do take it out when brushing my teeth just so I can get the teeth around it cleaner without it in the way but if you had to brush in front of others I guess you could brush with it in. They say not to sleep with it either but I have a couple of times and it stayed in place and was fine. Again as long as the tooth is fitting tightly enough that it doesn't easily fall out. Usually I take it out at night though. I have made several backups to use just in case one does accidently get swallowed when eating or I forget to put it on it the morning. A couple of times I was so tired in the morning on my way out the door to work and just totally forgot about my tooth but luckly I had a backup in my purse that I could use and didn't have to go all the way back home to get it. If I don't tell people I have a fake tooth they don't even know.

My bristles are black, never used the blue. Love my Rotodent! Much cheaper then the dentist.
