Hydrogen Peroxide teeth whitening?
A few people I know say that you can rinse your mouth with 3% Hydrogen Peroxide after you brush your teeth twice a day and it whitens your teeth. It definitley DID whiten their teeth, but I was wondering- How long does it take for results? How expensive is a bottle?/Where can you buy it? and most importantly, Is it safe? I wont use it if it's going to destroy my enamel or something. Haha, thanks!
Is whitening teeth with hydrogen peroxide safe?
Peroxides tend to whiten just about anything that they come in contact with. Hydrogen peroxide is commonly included as a whitening ingredient in mouthwashes for this purpose. (Examples: Amazon.com: peroxide mouthwash)Just rinsing your mouth with this liquid will have a subtle whitening effect. That's the only step. You'd have to do it more or less daily to see much of an effect.For stronger effects, you would want a thick gel, which allows you to ensure that it's just in contact with your teeth (not your entire mouth). In that case, you should purchase a pre-made kit specifically designed for that purpose.
Will swishing with 3% hydrogen peroxide to whiten your teeth remove the enamel?
Hydrogen peroxide will oxidize (slowly burn) tissue, both good and bad living tissue. This is why it is not recommended to use 3% hydrogen peroxide as a daily mouthwash.To hurt your enamel, a liquid must have a low pH (acidity coefficient). pH of 7 is water, anything above 7 is “basic” and anything below 7 is “acidic”. The smaller the number, the more acidic a substance is.To hurt or demineralize enamel, the liquid (hydrogen peroxide or anything else) must have a pH of lower than 5.5. To demineralize dentin (especially when it is sometimes exposed near the gum line), the liquid needs to be below a pH of 6.8 (very close to water).So no, 3% hydrogen peroxide will not hurt your enamel as long as its pH is close to water. However the 3% hydrogen peroxide can cause you soft tissue irritation or even a mild burn. So, I would definitely not recommend it as a daily mouthwash, unless your dentist prescribes that to you for a very limited period of time.
