Mixing Hydrogen Peroxide and Mouthwash Safety
Discussion on the safety of mixing hydrogen peroxide with mouthwash
Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidation and is used in many fields of life and medical treatment. Mouthwash is a product for cleaning the mouth and protecting the breath, with various ingredients and different effects. However, when the two are mixed, its safety is worth exploring.
Hydrogen peroxide, with its oxidizing properties, can sterilize and disinfect, and remove stains. In oral care, dilute solutions are occasionally used to clean the mouth and help reduce the growth of bacteria. However, its strong nature and slightly higher concentration may damage the oral mucosa, causing discomfort and pain.
There are many types of mouthwash, including those containing alcohol to inhibit bacteria, those containing herbal ingredients to freshen the breath, and those containing fluoride to protect the teeth. The ingredients are different, and the effects are different.
If hydrogen peroxide is mixed with mouthwash, the chemical reaction between them is complicated and unpredictable. Or because the ingredients are contrary, the effect of each other is weakened. For example, some mouthwashes contain special antibacterial agents, mixed with hydrogen peroxide, or cause the antibacterial agent to fail and lose the ability to clean the mouth.
Furthermore, mix or produce harmful substances. When hydrogen peroxide encounters specific substances, it may release oxygen in a small space of the mouth, or cause changes in air pressure, causing discomfort. And the two are mixed, or new chemicals are generated, and its impact on oral health is unknown or potential hidden dangers.
Therefore, if you want to mix hydrogen peroxide with mouthwash, be careful. Before use, read the product description carefully, or consult a professional dentist. If it is not mixed properly, it will cause little damage to the mouth and damage the health of the whole body. Daily oral care should follow scientific methods and use appropriate products to ensure oral health.
