Hydrogen peroxide, commonly known as hydrogen peroxide, is generally used for anti-inflammatory and anti-virus. Someone wants to use hydrogen peroxide as mouthwash, so can hydrogen peroxide gargle?
Under normal circumstances, you can rinse your mouth with hydrogen peroxide, which has the function of disinfection and sterilization. Gargling with low-concentration hydrogen peroxide solution can effectively kill bacteria and clean up dirt in the mouth, help us clean the mouth and reduce bad breath, and help treat oral anaerobic infections, such as gingivitis, gingival abscess, stomatitis, tonsillitis and periodontitis.
Second, how to rinse your mouth with hydrogen peroxide
Rinsing your mouth with hydrogen peroxide can clean your mouth, but you must pay attention to the correct method to avoid damaging your oral health. The correct way to rinse your mouth with hydrogen peroxide is:
The commonly used concentration of medical hydrogen peroxide is 3%. Dilute according to the ratio of 1: 6, then brush your teeth with a mouthful of diluted hydrogen peroxide, let it fluctuate back and forth in your mouth, clean all parts of your mouth, wash away bacteria, destroy bacterial cells and kill bacteria. Finally, rinse with clear water to wash away the residual hydrogen peroxide in the mouth. Friends with stomatitis and periodontitis should let hydrogen peroxide rinse around their teeth several times, usually for two to three minutes, and rinse their mouths several times in severe cases.
In addition to gargling directly, you can also brush your teeth gently with diluted hydrogen peroxide, and then rinse your mouth with water after brushing your teeth. Be careful not to brush your teeth too hard.
Three, hydrogen peroxide gargle matters needing attention
1. Children are advised not to rinse their mouths with hydrogen peroxide, so as not to cause harm if swallowed by mistake.
2. However, it should be noted that the hydrogen peroxide solution used for gargling must be of low concentration. Too high concentration of hydrogen peroxide can not only play a good role, but will damage oral health.
After all, hydrogen peroxide is not a special mouthwash, so it is not recommended to rinse your mouth with hydrogen peroxide for a long time. Long-term use of hydrogen peroxide to gargle will lead to the complete elimination of anaerobic bacteria in the oral cavity, leading to the imbalance of oral flora, which will lead to other oral diseases.
