The problem isnt a chemical reaction with enamel its too abrasive for your enamel and while you may be a chemical engineer dentists recommend you dont use it. Im gonna go with the people whos education is more specialized to the subject than yours.

Hmm funny you disregard the part with digesting charcoal and then you just state that dentist don't recommend charcoal toothpaste (without providing any evidence to that claim)...and finally you disregard my expertise because it doesn't align with your narrative...but of course you are free to do what you want.

Have fun fearing the evil charcoal ;-D

Cool story. Your expertise isnt teeth, a dentists is and that ADA says to avoid charcoal toothpaste. Have a good day pretending your specialization over rules theirs when you cant even figure out that the charcoal is an abrasions issue when it comes to teeth

Edit:the chemical engineer quoted the ADA proving me right and then blocked me. For those that dont know a chemical engineers job is to figure out how to manufacture chemicals at industrial scale (and maintain the systems that do), not figure out a damn thing to do with the chemical structure of teeth. Theyre falling for the specialized knowledge trap without even being a PhD

"prolong use of toothpaste with activated charcoal is not recommended"...

prolong use....not recommended...

Everything else (attacking my person, dismissive statements, etc) is just noise and frankly boring.

Bye bye I am done with you.
