Sounds a bit too faffy for me but I wonder why they cant make a toothpaste using coconut oil which would be easier.
What's faff about swilling some oil around your moth while you say, have a shower.

I just brush my teeth with activated charcoal. Not really into mouthwash or fluoride toothpaste that tastes like bubble gum.

That's a bit weird, have you tried water?
It’s an old and proven method of keeping your teeth and mouth healthy. My wife swears by it and she has a fantastic set of healthy teeth. I tried it a few times but couldn’t overcome the impulse of swallowing it. A swish and rinse with half a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate after brushing does it for me.

Wouldn't do you any harm to be honest. Coconut oil is great stuff.

EDIT: Although I suppose this is a valid point;

"Be sure not to swallow as you will be taking these toxins into your body"

Brownish supposedly vigorous brushing removes. it but some find that ineffective
Apologies @JohnEGreen did not mean to imply anything about your teeth. I know very little about you of course but from the thoughtful intelligent things you write here, in my minds eye I see you as a fine and charming gentleman, with excellent teeth of course! :)
