On whether gargling hydrogen peroxide can whiten teeth
In recent times, there have been various opinions that gargling hydrogen peroxide can whiten teeth.
Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidative properties. It is in the mouth, or can interact with stains and pigments on the tooth surface. It is said that it can decompose the structure of the stain and turn the color of the tooth white. Because of its oxidative properties, the cover can break the chemical bonds that cause color in the stain and make the color lighter.
There are also concerns when doing this. Hydrogen peroxide is corrosive. Although diluted and used for gargling, if the concentration is not appropriate, or if the gargling time is too long, it is easy to hurt the oral mucosa and gums. In mild cases, the mucosa is red, swollen, painful, and in severe cases, it may fester, which will damage oral health.
And the causes of tooth color are complex, with exogenous coloring, such as tea and smoke stains; there are also endogenous ones, which are derived from the development of dentin. Only gargling hydrogen peroxide, or only effective for some exogenous coloring, may be difficult to achieve the ideal whitening effect for endogenous people.
Therefore, if you want to gargle your teeth with hydrogen peroxide, you should be cautious. Consult a dentist first to make sure you know your own dental condition, and accurately control the concentration of hydrogen peroxide and the length of gargling before you can do it. You must not use it rashly to avoid damaging your mouth and regret it.
