Charcoal powder is like the glitter of dental fads—gets everywhere, looks cool for two seconds, then you’re scrubbing it out of your sink and wonderin...
I tried the baking soda thing too, thinking I’d be walking around with a Colgate smile after a week, but all I got was this weird gritty feeling, like...
