Hydrogen Peroxide Tooth Infection Kill

Discussion on whether hydrogen peroxide can kill tooth infection

Dental infection is often disturbing to people's well-being and unbearable pain. Among the various countermeasures, the effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide has attracted much attention.

Hydrogen peroxide, chemically called hydrogen peroxide, has strong oxidizing properties. In the medical field, it is widely used. When applied to tooth infections, strong oxidizing properties can cause damage to the cell wall and cell membrane of bacteria, which in turn can damage the important biomacromolecular structures such as proteins and nucleic acids in bacteria, lose their activity, and eventually cause bacterial death.

Of course, tooth infections are complex and diverse. For superficial infections, hydrogen peroxide may be able to effectively kill some bacteria and relieve inflammation by virtue of its oxidizing properties. If there is mild inflammation caused by bacteria growing on the edge of the gums due to food residues, rinsing with an appropriate concentration of hydrogen peroxide can remove bacteria and reduce redness, swelling and pain.

However, if the infection penetrates deep into the pulp of the tooth, it is difficult to achieve full power with hydrogen peroxide alone. The pulp is hidden deep inside the tooth, surrounded by hard tooth tissue, and hydrogen peroxide is difficult to reach the core area of infection. At this time, the use of hydrogen peroxide alone, although it may reduce the surface symptoms, cannot eradicate the root cause of the disease, and the disease is prone to repetition.

In addition, the use of hydrogen peroxide also requires caution. If the concentration is too high, although it has strong bactericidal power, it is easy to burn the oral mucosa and gum tissue, causing local pain and ulcers, which will aggravate the patient's discomfort. Therefore, the concentration should be strictly controlled when using

In summary, hydrogen peroxide has a certain effect in the treatment of dental infections, which can deal with mild superficial infections. However, in the face of complex and serious dental infections, hydrogen peroxide alone is not enough. It needs to be combined with other treatment methods, such as root canal therapy, drug assistance, etc., to completely cure dental infections and maintain a healthy mouth.
