Hey there, this is harmful for teeth as the charcoal acts as abrasive and acts by removing the top layer of your teeth.
Offcourse it will show effects but with regular use you can develop tooth sensitivity.
Instead go in for scaling followed regular dental visits and make it a habit to brush twice daily specially at night.
