"On Hydrogen Peroxide and Tooth Enamel"

I have heard that in the world, there are many ways to clean teeth, and the influence of hydrogen peroxide on tooth enamel is of great concern to everyone.

Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties. When it is used for tooth cleaning, it interacts with tooth enamel. At first, it may lighten the color of the surface of the tooth enamel. Because of its oxidation, the cap can decompose the pigment on the surface of the tooth enamel, making the appearance of the teeth slightly white.

However, in the long run, hydrogen peroxide also poses a hidden danger to tooth enamel. Enamel is the hardest tissue on the outermost layer of the tooth and protects the teeth. The strong oxidation of hydrogen peroxide may gradually erode the structure of tooth enamel. If used improperly, the concentration is too high, or the frequency of use is too high, the mineral composition of tooth enamel may be damaged. Enamel is rich in minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. Under the action of hydrogen peroxide, these minerals may be lost by chemical reactions, resulting in changes in the microstructure of the surface of the enamel, resulting in tiny pores or rough surfaces. This not only affects the appearance of the enamel, but also reduces the ability of the teeth to resist external stimuli. In the future, when exposed to hot, cold, sweet and sour things, the teeth may be more sensitive to soreness.

Therefore, it is prudent to clean the teeth with substances containing hydrogen peroxide. It is necessary to precisely control its concentration and frequency of use, and strive to protect the health of tooth enamel to the greatest extent while pursuing white teeth, so as to provide long-term dental care.
