While natural oral hygiene methods may seem appealing, the fact of the matter is that some of these alternatives can harm our teeth and require attention from a dentist.

What are a handful of practices which should be avoided and why might they be dangerous?

– Charcoal toothpastes may damage enamel if used excessively.

– The practice of oil pulling is ineffective and even a waste of time.

– Toothpastes without fluoride will not provide protection against long-term tooth decay.

”Many charcoal toothpastes on the market do not contain enough fluoride to adequately protect us from tooth decay.”
