- Hi, it's Parris from Epic Review Guys
once again putting myself in harm's way
to find out if something works.
This is actually supposed to be completely safe.
Today I'm checking out My Magic Mud Tooth Whitening Powder.
♫ Epic Review Guys ♫
So, mud in the mouth, yep that's the story.
This is made from coconut shells
that have been turned into charcoal
mixed with some other things including
volcanic ash and you don't use this
instead of your regular toothpaste,
your regular brushing, you use it in addition to.
And they claim in a couple weeks,
your teeth will be whiter.
Goes for just over $20.
I'll put a link to this down below the video.
Now early on, doing reviews,
I got requests from people to do
tooth-whitening toothpaste, tooth-whitening gels,
tooth-whitening strips that go on your teeth
and I was a little hesitant to do it because
I know some of them have very strong chemicals
that can harm your teeth.
And then I started to think what if
everyone's requesting that as a way of saying
"Hey your teeth aren't very white."
And I don't have particularly white teeth.
Most people don't naturally.
Your teeth have a color to them.
Now that's internal, on the surface you do get stains
if you drink a lot of tea, red wine,
you will stain your teeth.
I do drink a fair amount of tea, coffee also.
So those stains can come off with some scrubbing.
Always worried me a little when my dental hygienist
would get on the front of my teeth though and just,
I feel her leaning in and using the device
to try to get the stains off.
I said "Don't worry about it that much.
"I'd like to have some enamel left."
Because that was my concern.
So that's the trade-off with the stains
is not scrubbing so hard or with something so abrasive
that you take the enamel, the protective coating
off your teeth but scrubbing hard enough
to remove that exterior stain.
Your teeth with this sort of thing or any kind of thing
that cleans just the surface stains,
I don't think will ever be movie-star white
like you see people have.
Those people will have a chemical put on their teeth
that actually soaks in and they basically
are changing the color of their teeth.
They're not restoring the natural color,
they're changing the color of their teeth.
And if you want to do that to your teeth,
be my guest but I don't want to put those chemicals
on my teeth, risk damaging my gums and my teeth
to make my teeth an unnatural white.
A little less stained though, okay, I will try that.
So, saw a TV commercial for this My Magic Mud.
This was a couple months back
and finally decided to give it a try.
Supposed to take two weeks of daily brushing
at least once a day, you can brush more often,
it won't hurt anything.
What they recommend is you
before going to sleep at night.
This is a mess.
When I first got it I opened it up and tried it a little.
Oh, is it a mess.
Well, you'll see but if it actually does work,
lightens the teeth one or two shades,
gets rid of some of the stains,
maybe it'll be worthwhile.
Again just under $20 for this.
This seems very small and it is but you don't use much.
You basically take your toothpaste,
get a little bit of water on it
and you just dip it into this powder.
It's not a paste or a liquid and with that powder
you brush your teeth for two minutes.
And they change color and they don't look white at first.
The best place to initially open this package
is over your bathroom sink
because the black powder will come out
and just start falling everywhere
if it's around on the sides of it
which I hope it isn't anymore here, let's see.
Don't do it over white carpet
or if you're wearing light-colored clothing.
Can you see the black powder in there?
It looks like ash, really that's what it is in large part.
It's burnt coconut husks turned into carbon.
Gonna take my toothbrush.
You can use an electric with this
but the brush heads are so expensive on that
and they don't look very nice
once they're stained black so I'm using
just a couple dollar toothbrush here.
I have dipped the bristles into the water
now I'm gonna take just a little bit of the powder.
Start with that much and see what that does to my teeth.
Now it probably seems like that small amount
that I took just on the tips of the bristles
isn't enough to do anything, well take a look at this.
I'll zoom in here in a minute.
(speaking with brush in mouth)
Yeah, not white, not yet.
Okay, that's what it looks like
when you're brushing with this.
It's messy.
Okay, that's about two minutes of brushing.
Here's the toothbrush.
This is why I didn't use my expensive
electric toothbrush to do this.
Now I've swallowed some of this
and it doesn't hurt you.
Again, it's coconut husk
and a little bit of pumice, a little volcanic clay,
so it's just gonna pass right through you
but probably you want to go to the sink and spit.
You will notice all around your sink
you're gonna have a nice big black color as well.
I'm back from the bathroom, I have washed my brush.
Pretty clean but a little bit of black residual color
to me it looks like and on my teeth I've rinsed five times
before I didn't have any more black coming out
when I was spitting.
And that's what you're looking at.
I'll take the My Magic Mud and put it by my sink
and try to remember every night to brush with this.
In the morning I'll be brushing with my regular
electric toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste
but every night with this and I will be back in a week.
After a week we'll see, I'll show you up close,
whether, you can tell me whether you see
any improvement or not.
Then I'll do another week of brushing every night
with this for the recommended two-week period
where I should definitely be seeing
some whitening of my teeth.
Now if you'd like to get this
and try along with me that's great
and hopefully you would have good results as well.
I will tell you, however, that I am not
going to stop drinking tea
which means unless I continue to use this
or use it, I don't know, two, three days a month
or something to keep those stains off,
they will come back.
They're surface stains.
They're based on the food you eat
and the drinks you drink.
If you keep eating and drinking the same things,
you're just going to restain your teeth.
But I suppose if it made a noticeable difference,
maybe I'd dedicate a few days a month
to brushing with this just so I could take those stains off.
I've heard good things about My Magic Mud
so let's see what happens.
You can be the judge of whether my teeth
actually get whitened or not.
I'll be back in one week and then again in two weeks.
