On the Principle of Hydrogen Peroxide Cleansing Teeth
It is often heard that hydrogen peroxide can make teeth white. However, the reason why it can whiten teeth should be investigated in detail.

Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties. The coloring of teeth may be due to food stains or fouling over time. When hydrogen peroxide meets the tooth surface, the oxygen atoms in its molecules are active and can interact with the chromogens in the tooth surface stains. Chromogens mostly contain unsaturated bonds. The oxygen atoms of hydrogen peroxide, due to their oxidizing properties, break their unsaturated bonds, change their molecular structure, and destroy the conjugated system of chromogenic substances.

Conjugated systems are the basis for chromogens to develop color. Once it is broken, the characteristics of chromatin light absorption change, so the color fades away, and the color of the teeth turns white. And after the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, the products are water and oxygen, which are clean and will not be damaged in the mouth.

Therefore, if you want to clean your teeth with hydrogen peroxide, use it wisely and follow the method to get the beauty of good teeth without the risk of damage.
