Abrasive toothpastes are very dangerous for the teeth and will eventually cause the enamel to thin revealing the dentin underneath. The dentin is darker than the enamel and will cause the teeth to appear darker. This, in combination with the fact that abrasives remove the protective layer (enamel) of your teeth make them an altogether terrible idea.
