<h3>Dangers of Fluoride Toothpaste</h3>
<p>The biggest toothpaste no-no is sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), said Dr. Steve Lin, an experienced dentist. It is added as a foaming agent to toothpaste and other soaps, but according to Dr. Lin it is not beneficial to your oral health and oral health is all about habits!</p>
<p>With this being said, you don&#8217;t need to change your dental routine, instead of that try out a natural alternative each night. Leave the brand name products for the morning when you are short on time. When your regular tube runs out, make a full switch over and start using your favorite natural option regularly.</p>
<h3>Activated Charcoal Teeth Whitening</h3>
<p>The big difference between activated charcoal and ordinary charcoal is the surface of the material. Activated charcoal is generally composed of carbon atoms and has a very fine porous structure on a particle scale. So, a small amount of activated charcoal has a massive surface area and that means that is able to bond with all kinds of substances and molecules that you&#8217;ve ingested.</p>

<p><em>Activated charcoal is great for detoxing your body and we recommend you to try this charcoal lemonade recipe.</em></p>
<p><strong>Ingredients:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> ;16 oz of spring water,</li>
<li> ;1 organic lemon,</li>
<li> ;1-2 Tbsp Maple Syrup,</li>
<li> ;1-2 capsules of activated charcoal,</li>
<li> ;1 pinch of Himalayan salt,</li>
<li> ;Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or basil.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Preparation:</strong></p>
<p>Squeeze the lemon in the spring water, then add the Himalayan salt and Maple Syrup. Mix everything together and pour ¾ of it into a tall glass with ice. Mix the activated charcoal with the remaining lemonade. Finally, add your fresh herbs of choice. Enjoy!</p>
<h3>Other Alternatives</h3>
<p>Dr. Lin believes that the food we eat has more influence on tooth health than brushing. Therefore, you must avoid processed sugars. Get plenty of dietary fiber from vegetables and fruits; apples and carrots are great for physically rubbing the plaque. Try out turmeric toothpaste if you struggle with gum inflammation!
