Activated charcoal has many uses, from treating foul-smelling wounds and poisoning to changing the colour of food. In dentistry, activated charcoal, also known as activated carbon, can tackle staining due to its abrasive qualities. The science believes that the material binds to stains and deposits on the tooth surface, enabling the toothbrush to more effectively remove them.[i]
Activated carbon defines the Black is White range from Curaprox, adding an aesthetic boost. Each oral care hygiene product in the range features a sleek design that transforms a patient’s perception for how stylish dental care solutions can be.
A brighter way to travel
A central part of the product range is the Black is White Travel Set. To support patients in maintaining an optimal standard in oral hygiene when travelling, Curaprox’s selection of Travel Sets pack everything needed for comprehensive daily dental care. The Black is White takes this foundational aim and enhances it for patients looking to whiten their teeth whilst on the move.
The Travel Set includes a Black is White toothpaste which gently removes stains from tooth surfaces. It contains activated carbon which absorbs discoloured particles for a brighter smile – without the need for bleaching agents or harsh, abrasive ingredients. With a refreshing lime-mint flavour and the presence of hydroxyapatite, the toothpaste packs a flavoursome punch whilst also strengthening the enamel and fighting cavities. Its physical blue filter adds a cooling sensation while brushing too, giving a blast of freshness to begin and end each day.
A black brush for brighter results
An effective toothpaste demands an effective toothbrush. The Black is White toothbrush is such a product: ergonomic, aesthetically pleasing, and relentless on plaque. It is also exceptionally gentle, with its ultra-fine bristles removing harmful particles whilst being soft on the gingivae. The specifically angled brush head and octagonal handle further support patients by guiding their hand to the optimal angle for toothbrushing. For extra compactness within the Travel Set, the Black is White toothbrush can be easily split in two – perfect for packing light.
Rounding out the set is a pair of carbon interdental brushes. These have a conical shape to better remove trapped food debris, using a powerful umbrella effect that only requires a single in-and-out motion. Each interdental brush is a different size, with the larger of the two featuring a distinct neon pink handle – an aesthetically dazzling complement to several other Black is White products. These carbon interdental brushes can be placed on the duo holder that’s included in the Travel Set. This promotes dexterity when cleaning the teeth, allowing patients to quickly alternate brush sizes for a more comfortable dental care experience.
All these oral hygiene products are neatly packed in a compact case that measures 9.5cm x 6cm – small enough to fit in a coat pocket. Wherever in the world a patient is, they can reduce the risk of caries and tackle stains with these first-class solutions.
Chew it over
In addition to the travel set, patients may also make use of the Black is White Chewing Gum from Curaprox. Easily carried around, the activated charcoal chewing gum supports gentle teeth whitening and oral care, anytime and anywhere.
As well as enhancing the natural aesthetic of the dentition using activated carbon, the gum also has prophylactic powers. Loaded with antioxidants like tocopherol-acetate, its unique formula supports oral hygiene. To protect against dental caries, the gum also fills tiny holes with hydroxyapatite, strengthening dental enamel, and contains xylitol to further safeguard against cavities.
Not just a treat for the taste buds with its citrus-mint flavour, the chewing gum comes with the Curaprox promise of improved oral health. From a long plane journey to a session at the gym, brightened smiles await with the Black is White Chewing Gum.
