Hydrogen Peroxide Mouthwash Pros Cons
On the pros and cons of peroxide as a mouthwash
The use of peroxide in oral care has been widely discussed by the world. Let's discuss its pros and cons today to clarify whether it is suitable.
Peroxide gargling has many advantages. First, it has the ability to sterilize. In the mouth, all kinds of bacteria thrive, often causing bad breath and gum inflammation. Hydrogen peroxide enters the mouth and can come into contact with bacteria. Its chemical properties are active, it can break the structure of bacteria, kill a variety of bacteria, and balance the oral flora, relieve bad breath and protect the health of the gums. Second, it has good cleaning power. It can decompose to produce tiny bubbles, which roll between the teeth and gingival grooves, wash away food residues and soft scale, make the mouth clean more thoroughly, and the surface of the teeth is smooth, reducing the chance of dental caries.
However, hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash also has disadvantages. First, if the concentration is improper, it is easy to hurt oral tissue. High-concentration hydrogen peroxide is highly corrosive. Even after dilution, if the concentration is still beyond the appropriate range, contact with oral mucosa and gums can cause burns, make mucosa red, swollen, painful, and even ulcers, affecting the normal function of the mouth. Second, long-term use may disturb the oral microecology. The oral cavity has its own stable microbial community, and long-term use of peroxide to rinse the mouth. Although harmful bacteria are eliminated, beneficial bacteria may also be accidentally killed, causing micro-ecological imbalance, increasing the risk of bacterial infection, and easy to change the oral environment and breed other diseases.
In summary, peroxide as a mouthwash has advantages and disadvantages. When using, when carefully considered, control the concentration, use it in moderation, and do not abuse it, so as not to damage the health of the oral cavity.
