Hydrogen Peroxide Gargle Benefits Risks
On the pros and cons of peroxide gargling
In modern medicine, there are many discussions about peroxide garglers. Hydrogen peroxide, chemically called hydrogen peroxide, has gradually attracted attention in the field of oral care.
Peroxide gargling does have its benefits. First, the effect of disinfection and sterilization is significant. In the mouth, bacteria multiply, such as bacteria that cause bad breath and dental caries. Hydrogen peroxide can break the cell wall and membrane of bacteria by virtue of its strong oxidation, kill its activity, purify the environment of the mouth, make the breath fresh, and can also prevent the growth of dental caries to a certain extent. Second, it has the power of adjuvant treatment for local inflammation of the mouth, such as gingivitis and oral ulcers. It can reduce the redness, swelling and pain of the inflammation and accelerate the healing of the wound.
However, peroxide gargling also has risks. Concentration control is crucial. If the concentration is too high, its strong oxidation will not only damage bacteria, but also the oral mucosa. Oral mucosa is delicate, stimulated by high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, which can cause mucosal burns, cause pain, ulcers, and repair time-consuming, affecting daily diet and speech. Long-term frequent gargling with hydrogen peroxide may disrupt the normal flora balance in the mouth. Oral flora are mutually restricting and dependent on each other to maintain ecological stability. Hydrogen peroxide sterilizes bacteria indiscriminately, and beneficial bacteria are also affected, causing flora imbalance, which increases the risk of oral infection.
Therefore, gargling with hydrogen peroxide should be done with caution. Be aware of its advantages and disadvantages, and control the concentration and frequency according to the doctor's instructions, in order to promote its benefits and avoid its harm, and protect the health of the mouth.
