Gargling with Hydrogen Peroxide Safety
On the pros and cons of gargling hydrogen peroxide
Most modern physicians have talked about gargling hydrogen peroxide, but everyone has different opinions.
Some doctors say that hydrogen peroxide is highly oxidizing and can be decomposed in the mouth to produce reactive oxygen species, which can kill many germs. For example, anaerobic bacteria commonly found in the mouth, under the action of reactive oxygen species, their living environment is destroyed and reproduction is inhibited, so it can reduce gum inflammation and relieve bad breath. And in the case of minor oral trauma, gargling hydrogen peroxide can clean the wound and prevent the spread of infection.
However, there are also doctors who warn that although hydrogen peroxide has the above benefits, improper use is also harmful. If the concentration of its strong oxidation is too high, or if the gargling time is too long, it is easy to damage the oral mucosa. The oral mucosa is originally a barrier to protect the oral tissue. If damaged, it is easy to cause pain and even cause ulcers. And long-term frequent use may cause imbalance of oral flora. The oral flora checks and balances each other to maintain ecological balance. Hydrogen peroxide is non-selective sterilization. When killing harmful bacteria, it may also harm beneficial bacteria. After the flora is unbalanced, oral diseases may breed more easily.
Therefore, those who want to gargle hydrogen peroxide should be cautious. It is necessary to clarify its concentration requirements first. Generally speaking, low-concentration hydrogen peroxide prescriptions commonly used in medical use can be used for gargling, and the gargling time should be strictly controlled and not too long. At the same time, it is necessary to pay close attention to the oral reaction. If there is any discomfort, stop using it immediately and seek medical consultation to ensure oral health.
