Hydrogen Peroxide for Dental Health
Carol (Sparks, Nv) on 03/22/2016:
I have been brushing my teeth with 3 percent food grade hydrogen peroxide now for about 10 years. My gums are healthier now than for my entire lifetime. I am a 67 year old female and have gone to the dentist twice a year for the last 40 years. They hygienist would give me the dreadful news that I had these deep pockets that were going to cause me to loose my teeth if I didn't clean them better. I have had no pockets ever since I started the peroxide brushing.

Hydrogen Peroxide diluted with water as a mouthwash really works to clean my mouth and my breath fresh. After reading Jill's post, I tried 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 1 water as a mouthwash once a day for a week and found it was too strong for me. My teeth felt really sensitive. Then I diluted 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 3 part water, once a day, and this works great. I have been doing this 3 weeks now and my mouth feels really clean and can see that my teeth has whitened some. My gums look and feel healthy. I'm going to do this the rest of my life. Thank you so much for sharing! I really appreciate! View Entire Thread

I have started using Hydrogen Peroxide diluted with water. I use 1/2 water and 1/2 Hydrogen Peroxide. I use it as a mouthwash and in my Waterpik. I have suffered from Halitosis for several years due to periodontal disease. I work, but due to high premiums, I don't have dental insurance. I have used products at the pharmacy, but this is more effective. I brush and manually floss with unwaxd dental floss. I use the Waterpik w/diluted Hydrogen Peroxide to irrigate between the teeth and below the gumline. On a job interview, I sat at close range w/the interviewer with no problems. It is not a substitute for professional dental care, but supplement it w/dental care. I also take Chlorophyll tablets(internal deodorizer) and Burdock Root (a blood cleanser).
