Hydrogen Peroxide Tooth Enamel Harm
On the effect of hydrogen peroxide on tooth enamel
This study explores the benefits of hydrogen peroxide on tooth enamel. Hydrogen peroxide is often found in oral care products or used as a tooth whitening agent. However, its effect on tooth enamel is actually worth studying in detail.
Tooth enamel, the hard tissue on the outermost layer of the tooth, is the first defense of the tooth body, protecting dentin and pulp. It is strong and dense, and can resist daily chewing, abrasion and erosion of external chemicals.
If hydrogen peroxide is used on teeth, it may be potentially harmful. Although hydrogen peroxide is oxidizing, it can remove the pigment on the surface of the tooth and achieve the effect of whitening, but it may also damage the structure of tooth enamel. Long-term or improper use may cause demineralization of tooth enamel. Mineral ions in tooth enamel, such as calcium and phosphorus, can be released due to the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide, causing the density and hardness of tooth enamel to decrease, and the surface to become rough, which in turn is prone to bacterial and acidic substances invasion, increasing the risk of dental caries.
And hydrogen peroxide or cause changes in the organic composition of tooth enamel. Enamel contains a small amount of organic matrix, which is very important for maintaining its structure and function. Oxidation of hydrogen peroxide, or breaking the chemical bonds of this organic component, causes the mechanical properties of tooth enamel to change, the elasticity and toughness to decrease, and it is more likely to break when exposed to external forces.
However, there are also views that if hydrogen peroxide-containing substances are used moderately and correctly, such as whitening products with a specific concentration according to the doctor's order, and the frequency and time of use are controlled, the harm to tooth enamel may be minimized. Under professional guidance, low-concentration hydrogen peroxide acts for a short time, or it can reduce the damage to tooth enamel to an acceptable range when the benefits of whitening are obtained.
Overall, the effects of hydrogen peroxide on tooth enamel have advantages and disadvantages. Those who use it should be cautious, well aware of its potential hazards, and use it reasonably under professional guidance to ensure oral health and tooth enamel integrity.
