Hydrogen Peroxide on Teeth Pros and Cons
On the advantages and disadvantages of hydrogen peroxide for teeth
Hydrogen peroxide has gradually attracted attention in the field of oral care. However, its use for teeth has both advantages and disadvantages, which cannot be ignored.
The advantages of hydrogen peroxide for teeth
One is the effect of whitening. Hydrogen peroxide is highly oxidizing and can chemically react with the pigments on the surface and inside of the teeth to decompose the macromolecule pigment into small molecules, so that the color of the teeth can be diluted and the purpose of whitening can be achieved. In the daily diet, coffee, tea and tobacco can easily cause tooth coloring. Moderate treatment with hydrogen peroxide can help restore the white color of the teeth.
Second, sterilization and disinfection. In the mouth, bacteria multiply, which can easily lead to various oral diseases. Hydrogen peroxide can destroy the cell wall and cell membrane structure of bacteria, inhibiting bacterial growth and reproduction. Such as gingivitis and other diseases, moderate use of hydrogen peroxide can reduce the number of bacteria and relieve inflammation symptoms.
Disadvantages of hydrogen peroxide for teeth
First, damage oral tissue. If the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is too high or used improperly, it can cause burns to soft tissues such as gums and oral mucosa. In mild cases, it can cause local pain, redness and swelling, and in severe cases, it can cause ulcers, affecting the normal function and comfort of the mouth.
Secondly, teeth are sensitive. Long-term or excessive use of hydrogen peroxide can damage the structure of tooth enamel. Tooth enamel is the hardest protective tissue on the outermost layer of teeth. After damage, dentin is exposed, and external stimuli are more likely to spread to the pulp, causing the teeth to be sensitive to hot, cold, sweet, sour and other stimuli, which brings many inconveniences to daily life.
Furthermore, rebound effect. Although hydrogen peroxide can achieve tooth whitening in the short term, if the follow-up oral care is not appropriate, if you still maintain bad eating habits, the tooth pigmentation is easy to sink again, resulting in a rebound in the whitening effect, and frequent use of hydrogen peroxide, or affect the normal flora balance in the mouth, further affecting oral health.
In summary, hydrogen peroxide is used for teeth, although it has the benefits of whitening and sterilization, it should be used with caution, strictly control the concentration and frequency of use, and consult a professional dentist if necessary to avoid its harm and promote its benefits and maintain oral health.
