Daily Hydrogen Peroxide Rinsing Safety

On the safety of peroxide daily gargling
In recent years, the world has investigated many methods of oral care, among which the method of peroxide gargling is quite popular. Or ask: Daily gargling with peroxide, is it safe?

The chemical name of hydrogen peroxide is hydrogen peroxide, which has strong oxidation. In the mouth, it can sterilize and disinfect, remove bacteria, and clean the gums, which seems to be effective for a while.

However, if it is used every day, there are also hidden dangers. Hydrogen peroxide is highly oxidizing. If the concentration is improper, it is easy to hurt the oral mucosa if it is often gargled. The oral mucosa is a barrier against external evil, delicate and sensitive. Once damaged, it will cause pain, redness and swelling in light cases, ulcers and erosion in severe cases, and lead to various diseases.

And the oral flora ecology is delicate and balanced, and various flora restrict and symbiosis with each other. Although hydrogen peroxide can kill harmful bacteria, it can also kill beneficial bacteria by mistake, resulting in imbalance of flora. Over time, the oral self-cleaning ability is gradually weakened, and germs are more likely to breed, and the risk of disease entering the mouth increases greatly.

Also, if you rinse your mouth with hydrogen peroxide for a long time, it may affect your sense of taste. The perception of taste depends on the taste buds on your tongue. The stimulation of hydrogen peroxide can make the taste buds function abnormally, causing taste loss, distortion, and loss of taste interest.

To sum up, rinsing your mouth with hydrogen peroxide every day, although it is occasionally used to clean your mouth and kill bacteria, it may endanger your oral health every day. It is not a wise move. Oral care requires gentle and long-lasting methods, such as selecting appropriate toothpaste, brushing your teeth correctly, and rinsing your mouth with light salt water.
