Want whiter teeth without the annoying, plastic mouthguard that inevitably gives you lockjaw? You should try brushing with activated charcoal, like this one by Squeaky Clean.

Charcoal may not be best known for its teeth whitening properties, but it actually does a whole lot more for your mouth than just add a little sparkle and shine. The charcoal powder, which activates as you brush, is proven to help fight cavities, gingivitis, and other damaging bacteria.

Other forms of teeth whitening can be costly and sometimes even dangerous, but this painless and simple alternative doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals or animal byproducts, so it’s vegan-safe! Although scrubbing black powder on your teeth may look a little funny, reviewers claim this product is hidden gold.

If you shop soon, you can try it out for nearly half off. Usually retailing around $30, Amazon has it on sale for just $15.95.
