Hydrogen Peroxide Mouth Wash Safety

"On the Safety of Peroxide Gargling"

In modern times, people often doubt whether it is safe to gargle with hydrogen peroxide? Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical substance with oxidizing properties. The world uses it more often, either to clean the mouth, or to treat oral diseases.

If you rinse your mouth with hydrogen peroxide, you need to be careful. If the concentration is appropriate, it may be beneficial to use it for a short time. It can kill all kinds of bacteria in the mouth, clean the environment of the mouth, and reduce the disturbance of bad breath. If you rinse it with moderately thin hydrogen peroxide, it will temporarily clear the oral filth and make the breath fresh.

However, if the concentration is improper, or if it is used for too long, it will be very harmful. High concentration of hydrogen peroxide is highly corrosive and hurts the oral mucosa. In light cases, the mucosa is red, swollen and painful; in severe cases, it ulcerates and bleeds, causing oral diseases to worsen. And long-term rinsing with hydrogen peroxide may break the balance of oral flora. Various bacteria in the mouth coexist and perform their duties. Although hydrogen peroxide kills harmful bacteria, it also hurts beneficial bacteria. If the flora is unbalanced, diseases are prone to occur, such as candida infection.

Also, swallowing hydrogen peroxide by mistake is dangerous. It can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, and even damage the gastrointestinal mucosa, causing internal bleeding.

Therefore, if you want to rinse your mouth with hydrogen peroxide, you must first understand the reason. Read the instructions carefully before use and follow the instructions. Or consult a doctor and pharmacist for professional guidance. Make sure the concentration is appropriate and the time is appropriate to ensure the safety of the mouth and avoid future problems. Do not use it blindly for your own health.
