Hydrogen Peroxide and Tooth Damage
On the damage of hydrogen peroxide to teeth
People in recent times have made much research on oral health care. Among them, hydrogen peroxide is often involved in dental care. However, whether it is harmful to teeth needs to be investigated in detail.
Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties. In oral cleaning purposes, it is occasionally used to whiten teeth. However, if used improperly, it is very harmful. Its strong oxidizing properties can damage tooth enamel. For tooth enamel, the hard protective structure outside the teeth is damaged, and the teeth are prone to sensitivity. Eating hot and cold sweet and sour things often feels sore, which is the reason why tooth enamel is damaged and dentin is exposed.
And if the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is too high, or if it is in contact with the teeth for too long, it can also damage the gum tissue. The gums are red, swollen and bleeding frequently, and the gums are gradually shrinking, the roots of the teeth are gradually exposed, and the teeth are loose.
Or those who use low-concentration hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash can clean the mouth for a short time and remove odors. However, if used frequently for a long time, the balance of flora in the mouth is easily broken. Damage to beneficial bacteria, the growth of harmful bacteria, and the risk of oral diseases are increased, which is also detrimental to the stability and health of the teeth.
Therefore, it is necessary to be cautious when using products containing hydrogen peroxide to protect the teeth. Check the product description carefully and follow the doctor's instructions or professional guidance. It is better to protect your teeth with stability than to damage your teeth due to improper use of hydrogen peroxide, which will cause you to suffer from dental diseases in the future and regret it.
