Brush Teeth Hydrogen Peroxide Pros Cons

On the pros and cons of brushing teeth with hydrogen peroxide
In modern times, people have explored the way of cleaning teeth. The method of brushing teeth with hydrogen peroxide has gradually entered everyone's field of vision. The pros and cons are all there, and they should be discussed in detail.

Let's talk about the advantages first. Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties and can remove some bacteria and dirt in the mouth. Daily brushing of teeth may be difficult to remove the filth hidden between the teeth and gingival sulcus. Hydrogen peroxide can disinfect and sterilize bacteria with its oxidative properties, reduce the problem of bad breath, and make the breath fresh. And in the case of stains on the tooth surface, such as light coloring caused by tea, smoke, etc., hydrogen peroxide may help it fade and make the appearance of the teeth whiter.

However, its disadvantages cannot be ignored. Hydrogen peroxide is corrosive. Although it is diluted and used for brushing teeth, if the concentration is not properly controlled, or the brushing time is too long, it is easy to hurt the oral mucosa and gums. Mild cases cause mucosal redness, pain, and severe cases may cause ulcers, causing many discomforts to patients. Brushing teeth with hydrogen peroxide for a long time may destroy the normal flora balance in the mouth. The oral flora restricts and depends on each other to jointly maintain oral health. After the flora is unbalanced, other harmful bacteria may take advantage of the situation to increase the risk of oral diseases, such as dental caries, periodontitis, etc.

To sum up, there are advantages and disadvantages to brushing teeth with hydrogen peroxide. If you want to use it, you need to weigh it carefully, strictly control the concentration and frequency of use, and consult a professional dentist if necessary to ensure oral health.
