Is It Bad To Swish Hydrogen Peroxide

On the pros and cons of gargling hydrogen peroxide
Everyone in the world has explored the method of oral cleaning. Recently, the act of gargling hydrogen peroxide has gradually entered everyone's field of vision, but its pros and cons are divided, and there is no consensus.

Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidation. When used for oral cleaning, it can chemically react with various substances in the mouth. Looking at its advantages, hydrogen peroxide can effectively kill a variety of bacteria and viruses in the mouth. In the mouth, bacteria multiply, often causing bad breath, gingivitis and other diseases. Gargling with hydrogen peroxide, its strong oxidation can break the cell wall and cell membrane of bacteria, and then destroy its structure and function, making it difficult for bacteria to survive. Therefore, it can reduce the disease of bad breath to a certain extent, relieve gum inflammation, and improve the oral environment.

After gargling with hydrogen peroxide, the decomposed products are water and oxygen, both of which are clean and harmless to the human body, and will not cause long-term adverse effects on the oral ecological environment. This is really convenient.

However, gargling with hydrogen peroxide has no disadvantages. Because of its strong oxidation, if the concentration is used improperly, too high a concentration can easily damage the oral mucosa. The oral mucosa is delicate and is one of the barriers for the human body to resist the invasion of external bacteria. If it is damaged due to high hydrogen peroxide concentration, it can cause redness, swelling and pain in the oral mucosa in the light case, and ulcers in the severe case, causing the patient to suffer unbearably.

And frequently gargling with hydrogen peroxide, although it can remove harmful bacteria in the mouth, it will also kill beneficial bacteria by mistake. The beneficial bacteria in the mouth are crucial to maintaining the ecological balance of the mouth. Once its balance is disrupted, or other bacteria can take advantage of it and cause more complex oral diseases.

Therefore, gargling hydrogen peroxide has advantages and disadvantages. Those who want to use it must be cautious. Carefully observe the concentration and frequency of use, and must not abuse it blindly, so that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, so as to achieve the purpose of oral cleanliness and health care.
