HydrogenPeroxide HairyTongue
On the cause of hydrogen peroxide-induced black hairy tongue. In recent times, doctors often encounter black hairy tongue. The reason for this is that the use of hydrogen peroxide has attracted much attention.
Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties and is used from time to time in oral cleaning and other things. Improper use of it can cause the disease of black hairy tongue. The filamentous papilla covering the tongue has a delicate structure. When exposed to hydrogen peroxide, its oxidizing power may damage the normal metabolism of the papilla.
The epithelial cells of the papilla are hyperkeratinized due to oxidative stimulation, and the shedding is delayed. Over time, the keratinized cells accumulate layer by layer and gradually become hairy. In addition, in the oral cavity, microorganisms symbiosis. Under normal conditions, the flora is balanced. And the intervention of hydrogen peroxide, or disrupt this balance, some chromogenic bacteria can breed, attach to the long filamentous papilla, dye it, and then become black hair.
And if the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is inappropriate, it will be particularly irritating. High concentrations, in addition to damaging the filamentous papilla, also disturb the microenvironment of the oral mucosa, resulting in a reduction in the ability of local defense, contribute to the growth of the black hairy tongue. Therefore, the use of this agent must be carefully weighed to prevent the disease of the black hairy tongue and protect the health of the mouth.
