I'm not sure if this counts as cheating because I'm using a big-brand toothpaste that contains charcoal. Mostly because it's marked as "Enamel safe" and it's a reputable brand, so I figure it probably won't harm my teeth.
But yeah, honestly it's great. I used to have to use alcohol and tea tree oil mouthwash but I don't even need to anymore because this toothpaste not only removes as much or more plaque than any other toothpaste I've used, but also seems to remove bacteria too.
I don't think there's anything super special about this particular toothpaste other than it's high quality, "enamel safe" and by a good brand. It's also pretty dark so I think there's a fair bit of charcoal in there.
All the best, everyone! :)
