Hydrogen Peroxide Teeth Risks

"On the Damage of Hydrogen Peroxide to Teeth"

People in modern times often sought the whiteness of their teeth, or smelled that hydrogen peroxide could clean their teeth, so they used it. However, I don't know how harmful it is to the teeth.

Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties. With it, the teeth may be slightly lighter at first, which seems to be effective. However, if it is used for a long time, its harm will gradually appear.

The first to bear the brunt is to damage the tooth enamel. For those with tooth enamel, the outer layer of the tooth is firm, such as the wall of the city, and the mouth guard is complete. The strong oxidation of hydrogen peroxide erodes the wall, making the micropores of the tooth enamel gradually increase and the structure is loose. In this way, the teeth are susceptible to the stimulation of hot and cold, sour and sweet, and every time they feel sore.

And it hurts the gums. The gums are the foundation of the teeth, moist and tough. In case of hydrogen oxide, the cells of the gums are damaged, often causing redness, swelling, bleeding, and even gum atrophy. The gums are withered, the roots of the teeth are gradually exposed, and the stability of the teeth is worrying.

Furthermore, it can cause oral flora imbalance. In the mouth, the flora coexist harmoniously and perform their duties. The strong effect of hydrogen peroxide has no distinction between good and evil, and it kills bacteria. In this way, beneficial bacteria also die, and harmful bacteria may take the opportunity to multiply, causing bad breath, dental caries and other diseases.

It is used for a long time, or the color of the teeth may turn gray. After covering the enamel of hydrogen peroxide, the dentin is easily contaminated by external pigments, and due to damage to the dentin, the self-repair ability is weak, and the color of the teeth gradually darkens, which is contrary to the original intention of seeking teeth cleaning.

Those who want to clean their teeth in the past should use hydrogen peroxide with caution and find other ways to avoid getting entangled in dental diseases. It is too late to regret.
