Hydrogen Peroxide Waterpik Compatibility

On the suitability of hydrogen peroxide and water floss
Some people ask today: "Can hydrogen peroxide be added to water floss?" This question is related to the suitability of hydrogen peroxide and water floss, which cannot be ignored.

Water floss is also a tool for cleaning the mouth. It uses high-pressure water flow to flush out the filth between the teeth and protect the health of the mouth. Hydrogen peroxide, on the other hand, is highly oxidizing and is often used as a disinfectant in medicine.

If you want to use hydrogen peroxide to water floss, the first consideration is its impact on the material of water floss. Water floss contains mostly plastics, rubber and other materials. The strong oxidation of hydrogen peroxide may cause aging and brittleness of the material, which will damage the life of water floss.

Consider the effect of hydrogen peroxide on the oral cavity. Although hydrogen peroxide can sterilize, if the concentration is not appropriate, it will damage the oral mucosa. The oral mucosa is delicate, and excessive oxidizing force may cause mucosal redness, pain, and even ulcers.

Furthermore, hydrogen peroxide decomposes raw water and oxygen, and produces too much gas in the water floss, causing abnormal internal pressure, damaging the structure of the water floss, and affecting its normal operation.

Therefore, it is necessary to be cautious when adding hydrogen peroxide to the water floss. Check the instructions of the water floss carefully to see its compatibility with hydrogen peroxide; and strictly control the concentration of hydrogen peroxide to ensure oral safety and the integrity of the water floss. If you are not fully confident, it is not recommended to do it rashly, so as not to outweigh the gains, damage oral health, and destroy the floss.
