You don't wanna brush your teeth with Charcoal.
But household Baking Soda will do the trick.
Put some on your favorite toothpaste and brush your teeth.
It may taste a bit wierd and salty but you'll get used to it.
Also, a half-teaspoon of baking soda mixed with your gargle water can eliminate growth of bacteria which causes bad breath.

I tried those Crest Whitening Strips and they did work, but you have to stay with them and they're kinda nasty while they're on your teeth. The commercials show people walking around with them on but there is no way I could just "walk around during my day" with those things on my teeth - they foam and you feel like you have rabies. But they did help.
As to charcoal making your teeth whiter? I don't see how that would work, unless it's "polishing" your teeth by rubbing on them - and that would remove some of the enamel which is a Bad Thing. Once the enamel is gone, what's left of your teeth won't be around too long - someone will mention "chocolate" and you'll get a cavity from the sound of the word! *grin*
