Hydrogen Peroxide Mouthwash Safety

On the safety of peroxide gargling
People in modern times have many doubts about whether it is safe to gargle with peroxide. If you want to understand the reason, you should investigate its properties and use in detail.

Hydrogen peroxide, the chemical name hydrogen peroxide, has strong oxidizing properties. In the mouth, it can interact with many substances. Appropriate use can sterilize and disinfect. In the mouth, there are often various bacteria breeding, causing bad breath, gingivitis and other diseases. When hydrogen peroxide enters the mouth, it can break the structure of bacteria and kill its vitality, so it is beneficial for cleaning the mouth.

However, if used improperly, it is also harmful. Its oxidation is strong. If the concentration is too high, or if the gargling time is too long, it is easy to hurt the oral mucosa. If the mucosa is damaged, it will be red, swollen, painful, and even ulcer. Those who have tasted gargling with high-concentration hydrogen peroxide will soon feel severe pain in the mouth and burning of the mucous membranes. This is a warning of misuse.

If you want to use it safely, you should follow the rules of moderation. If you choose the appropriate concentration, it is appropriate to dilute the general medical hydrogen peroxide to about 3%. And when gargling, the duration should not be too long, about a minute. After gargling, rinse with water to remove the residual liquid in the mouth.

To sum up, rinsing with peroxide is safe and beneficial when used. It can clean the mouth and prevent diseases; if used improperly, it will harm the mouth. Therefore, the user should be careful and act according to the reason, so that the security can be guaranteed.
