## If we tend to use charcoal in a better manner, we would be able to take its help for better teeth whitening. If you are struggling to use some charcoal-based products, here are a few simple ways to use them:

### 1. Charcoal teeth whitening kit

The easiest way to use the [charcoal teeth whitening kit](https://smilesciences.com/products/charcoal-teeth-whitening-kit) is to dip your brush into the charcoal powder and let the excess be taken off by shaking the brush.

This will help you in removing any excess of the powder stuck onto the brush. Keep brushing for at least 10-15 minutes. This will help the charcoal to get evenly applied on the teeth and with brush motion, the surface keeps getting cleaned.


### 2. Coconut charcoal powder

To use [coconut charcoal powder](https://smilesciences.com/products/coconut-charcoal-powder-with-charcoal-brush-set), we simply need to dip the wet brush into the charcoal box and apply it to the teeth while brushing. The brush strokes will help in getting rid of the surface stains. But as well as using charcoal powder, we need to be careful as to avoid sink blackness and even the brush strokes shall be applied with light pressure.
Else a careless use and pressure application will cause blisters in the mouth.


### 3. Charcoal brush set

The [charcoal brush set](https://smilesciences.com/products/coconut-charcoal-powder-with-charcoal-brush-set) has fine particles of charcoal attached to the brush bristles. This is even more about bringing an easy technique, where we don't need to dip the brush into the charcoal container.

As we start brushing after rinsing the mouth we would be able to feel the charcoal depositing on our mouth and helping with the surficial cleaning of the teeth.

### 4. Charcoal teeth whitening strips

These are the handy strips that come to bring ease along in its use. To use [charcoal teeth whitening strips](https://smilesciences.com/products/charcoal-teeth-whitening-strips), we simply need to take the strips from the packet and start with placing the strip on the bottom teeth line first.


Repeat the process of keeping the strip on the top teeth line and leave the set for 30 minutes. The process would do well if we keep track of the time. Excess of time duration will cause an abrasive effect on the teeth.
