Gargling Hydrogen Peroxide Kill Bacteria

On whether rinsing hydrogen peroxide can sterilize
The world has doubts. If rinsing hydrogen peroxide, can it sterilize?

Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties. When rinsing with it, it comes into contact with various objects in the mouth. In theory, the structure of bacteria is fragile, and in case of strong oxidation, the cell wall and cell membrane can be damaged. If the wall membrane is damaged, the substances in the bacteria will overflow, the foundation of life will be shaken, and the vitality of the bacteria will gradually lose. Therefore, everyone doubts that it can sterilize.

However, the actual situation is quite complicated. In the mouth, the environment is unique. There are many secretions such as saliva, and there are various flora, which are symbiotic. Although hydrogen peroxide has the power to oxidize, the oral cavity is not a simple state. Saliva contains a variety of proteins and enzymes, which can interact with hydrogen peroxide. Or accelerate the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, making it difficult to maintain its effective bactericidal concentration for a long time.

And oral flora, a wide variety. Some beneficial bacteria, symbiotic and mutually beneficial with the human body, maintain the oral ecological balance. If you gargle hydrogen oxide, there is no choice for sterilization, and the beneficial bacteria are also killed, the oral ecological disorder, or cause other diseases.

Therefore, although gargling hydrogen peroxide has the possibility of sterilization, it is not easy to achieve the ideal bactericidal effect without damaging the oral ecology in the complex oral environment. Those who use it should be carefully weighed and should not be rashly done.
