Mixing Mouthwash and Hydrogen Peroxide

On the Mixing of Mouthwash and Hydrogen Peroxide
When mouthwash is mixed with hydrogen peroxide, it is also used to clean the mouth; hydrogen peroxide, which has strong oxidation properties, is also common in various disinfection scenes. If the two are mixed, the transformation between them cannot be ignored.

Mouthwash has various ingredients, or contains alcohols, fragrances, fungicides, etc. Hydrogen peroxide, the molecular formula is $H_ {2} O_ {2} $, in case of impurities or catalysts, it is easy to decompose and release oxygen. When mouthwash is mixed with hydrogen peroxide, alcohols may react with hydrogen peroxide or change its oxidation properties, and fragrances and other ingredients may also be affected, causing the mixture to change.

And hydrogen peroxide is strongly oxidized, making the oral mucosa delicate. Mixing the two, if the concentration is inappropriate, it may damage the oral mucosa, causing pain and redness. The flora in the mouth is delicately balanced, the mixed liquid or the unsuitable environment, the beneficial bacteria are suppressed, the harmful bacteria or take the opportunity to breed, and the oral ecology is disrupted.

Therefore, if you want to use mouthwash and hydrogen peroxide to protect the mouth, you should use them separately. First use mouthwash to clear the oral debris and inhibit bacteria; then rinse your mouth with a suitable concentration of hydrogen peroxide solution to disinfect and sterilize. And after using hydrogen peroxide, you should rinse it with water to avoid residual harm.

The way of using things should follow scientific principles, carefully observe physical properties, avoid harm and seek benefits, so as to protect oral health.
