"On the Advantages and Disadvantages of Gargling with Hydrogen Peroxide"

Nowadays, most people in the world use hydrogen peroxide to gargle their mouths. The reason for its practice is that hydrogen peroxide gargling does have many benefits.

Hydrogen peroxide has the ability to oxidize. Gargling with it can clear the oral filth and kill all kinds of germs. The odor in the mouth is often caused by the fermentation of food residues and the breeding of bacteria and insects. Hydrogen peroxide enters the mouth, which can quickly react with filth and decompose its properties. The odor self-removes, and the breath is fresh. And in the mouth, bacteria multiply, often causing gum inflammation, redness, swelling and pain. The strong oxidizing power of hydrogen peroxide can break the structure of bacteria, prevent their reproduction, relieve gum disease, and make the gums as healthy as ever.

However, gargling with hydrogen peroxide also poses risks. Hydrogen peroxide is corrosive to a certain extent. If the concentration is improper, or the gargling time is too long, it is easy to damage the oral mucosa. Mucosa damage, mild pain and discomfort, severe ulceration and bleeding, leading to other diseases. And long-term use may cause imbalance of oral flora. The flora in the oral cavity is in a balanced state and performs their duties. When hydrogen peroxide is used to kill harmful bacteria, it may accidentally kill beneficial bacteria, causing ecological disorders of the flora, and the oral cavity's ability to resist pathogens is gradually weakened, which increases the chance of disease.

Therefore, gargling with hydrogen peroxide should be done with caution. Before its advantages and disadvantages, according to the scientific method, control its concentration and time, in order to avoid disadvantages and protect the health of the mouth.
