Gargling with Hydrogen Peroxide Risks and Benefits
On the pros and cons of gargling with peroxide
In recent times, there have been discussions about gargling with peroxide. There are different opinions, but there is no consensus. Let's try to discuss its pros and cons to make sense of it.
Hydrogen peroxide, the chemical name hydrogen peroxide, has strong oxidizing properties. With gargling, there are two advantages. First, it can sterilize and disinfect. In the mouth, there are many bacteria, and many bacteria can cause dental caries and gum swelling and pain. When hydrogen peroxide enters the mouth, it releases new oxygen when it encounters bacteria. This oxygen activity is very strong, which can destroy the structure of bacteria, kill it, greatly reduce the number of oral bacteria, and protect the health of the mouth. Second, it can remove bad breath. The source of bad breath is mostly caused by food residues remaining in the mouth, which are decomposed by bacteria and generate foul gas. Hydrogen peroxide can oxidize and decompose such residues, remove filth and deodorize, and make breath fresh.
However, gargling with peroxide also poses risks. Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidation, and if the concentration is improper, it may cause damage to the oral mucosa. The oral mucosa is delicate and eroded by strong oxidation. In light cases, it is red, swollen and painful, and in severe cases, ulcers are eroded, which increases the suffering of patients. And long-term gargling with peroxide may cause imbalance of the flora in the oral cavity. The bacteria in the oral cavity restrict each other, symbiosis, and maintain balance. Peroxide sterilization is not selected, and beneficial bacteria are also harmed by it. If the balance is broken, germs may take advantage of the deficiency and flourish, causing all kinds of diseases.
To sum up, gargling with peroxide has advantages and disadvantages Those who use it should choose the concentration carefully, follow the doctor's advice, and do not abuse it, so that they can take advantage of it and avoid its harm, and protect the oral health.
