Weird Feeling In Mouth, Numbness In Gums And Teeth, Swollen Lips. History Of Using Activated Charcol To Whiten Teeth. Healing Time?
I used activated charcoal straight for about a week to whiten my teeth. My mouth is weird feeling. Not exactly sure where the numbness is. Front upper and lower gums . Lips have been swollen, they are better now. My mouth feels as it would if it had been numbed. Wondering how long this will last. I have not used charcoal for 3 days now. Thank you, Rona

HELLO RONA THANK YOU FOR WRITING IN HEALTHCARE MAGIC YOU HAVE DEVELOPED SOME KIND OF ALLERGY DUE TO THE MATERIAL YOU USED WHICH IS NOT AT ALL RECOMMENDED. STOP USING THIS PRODUCT. START WITH SALINE RINSES MAINTAIN GOOD ORAL HYGIENE VISIT DENTIST FOR CLINICAL EXAMINATION. START WITH ANTI INFLAMMATORY DRUGS AS ADVISED BY YOUR DENTIST. TAKE CARE.
hi rona its good now that you have stopped using that abrasive charcoal. ya it truly harms your oral cavity.it whitened your teeth by just grinding them and started exposing you dentine to the outer environment. i mean your teeth enamel may be gone. so please take your dentists help and know how to brush your teeth properly and use warm saline gargles. use soft bristled tooth brushes...
Hi, Welcome to HCM forum Rona. I agree with others doctors that it seems to be allergy due to charcoal. Avoid using such abrasives please. Maintain oral hygiene by brushing with soft bristles brush and tooth paste in circular manner. Apply Dentakind L gel over the swelling ,2-3 times for 4-5 days. Use Betakind mouthwash daily. Warm saline rinses will be beneficial to you. Take care
