Is hydrogen peroxide mixed with water as a mouth wash better than commercial mou!


Question: Although it's only an extra atom, hydrogen peroxide on its own is toxic and dangerous. It's actually bleach that makes your clothes whiter and in many household cleaning agents.

Yes, it is used in mouth wash and toothpaste with whitening effects. However, only a very small amount. A commercial mouthwash also has other properties that protects your teeth and kills germs. A mouth wash with just hydrogen peroxide would mainly brighten your teeth.

Unless you are a chemist yourself, I wouldn't even attempt to mix a hydrogen peroxide mouthwash. I don't see the point as it's equally cheap buying a commercial mouthwash, much effective and less hassle.

no

You better consult a dentist before doing such experiments.

what do you think? These companies spend millions of dollars on research and development. Do you really think that some hp and water can compete with that!!??

i think in cananda they have banned hydrogen peroxide as a mouth wash as it may cause mouth cancer.......don't hold me to it

it should only be used wen u have infection or cold sores

I'd say they are about the same. I've had both of them. Personally I hate the aftertaste of Hydrogen peroxide, so I don't know why'd you be so keen on using it, lol

BTW, I added some details to my question that you helped all ready answer if you want to see'm
