Discussion on the appropriate concentration of hydrogen peroxide in oral care
Oral care is related to dental health, fresh breath, and is closely related to the health of the whole body. Among them, hydrogen peroxide has a wide range of uses in oral care, but its concentration is crucial.
Moderate concentration of hydrogen peroxide can play multiple roles. At the cleaning level, it can effectively remove food residues and soft scale in the mouth and help create a clean oral environment. In terms of bactericidal and bacteriostatic, it has a significant inhibitory effect on common oral bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis, and can prevent oral diseases such as dental caries and periodontitis. In addition, it can improve bad breath and decompose sulfides that produce odors.
However, if the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is too high, the disadvantages will appear. First, it is highly irritating to the oral mucosa and gingival tissue. It can cause mucosal redness, pain, and even erosion and ulcers in severe cases, causing great discomfort to patients. Second, long-term high-concentration use may interfere with the microbial balance in the mouth. The normal flora in the mouth is of great significance to maintaining oral health. High concentrations of hydrogen peroxide may destroy this balance, causing excessive proliferation of harmful bacteria and causing more serious oral problems. Third, high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide may affect the enzyme activities in the mouth, such as salivary amylase, etc., and then have adverse effects on the digestion and immunity of the mouth.
After many studies and clinical practice, the appropriate concentration of hydrogen peroxide in oral care is mostly [X]% - [X]%. This concentration range can not only give full play to the functions of cleaning, sterilization, and removing bad breath, but also minimize the irritation to oral tissue and the disturbance to the oral ecological balance.
Doctors and patients should be well aware of the critical significance of hydrogen peroxide concentration in oral care. Doctors need to accurately guide the concentration and method of hydrogen peroxide use according to the patient's specific conditions, such as age, type of oral disease, severity, etc. Patients should also strictly follow the doctor's instructions and use it rationally to achieve the ideal oral care effect and protect the long-term health of the mouth.
