My friends Christina and Simon from the garage band Oh! Gun Quit were kind enough to give me some exotic black tooth powder. They know I like that kind of thing.
It is odd. Odd to point where you think you might have misunderstood somehow and are brushing your teeth with carpet cleaner. But once you get passed the shock of seeing yourself in the mirror with a mouth full of black then you realise this is a great product.
Ingredients include spearmint flowers, caraway and wood charcoal (hence the blackness). The taste is not at all bad and the effect, after repeated use, is to whiten the teeth. Also if a product has survived for over 100 years it must be good, right?
Yes, I can vouch for this powder, it does whiten teeth but tastes vile and requires a lot of cleaning up after you have used it, it is a kin to brushing your teeth with ink, but it whitens and cleans far better than normal toothpaste.
