I want to try this, however, many people have told me that this is bad for your tooth enamel...is this true???Replied By Nightfire (Danville, Illinois, United States) on 03/10/2012
OMG I was doing it wrong, lol. But Jainie is sooo right. I was brushing with baking soda and rinsing with peroxide on and off for bout a year to NO avail... Til I read how others are doing it. I started taking a small amount and swishing and KEEPING it in my mouth for about 10 minutes at a time. My teeth not only are lightening up (also I started OPing again) but I also noticed that what seemed to me that I was apparently losing enamel on my teeth because the sides of each tooth seemed to be a little opaque (gah)... No longer! I drink iced coffees made with strong coffee every morning and been smoking on and off for a while. I had ALWAYS had bad teeth not knowing why. *Sigh* in high school a boy who didn't even know me would constantly call me 'Yellow teeth'. Needless to say 'that' didn't do much for my self confidence :/... But I swear NOW WOW! ... My teeth have never looked better (even before I started drinking coffee drinks and smoking, ha ha)! , and started telling the difference in only a few days. I so love aging backwards and for some odd reason I'm smiling more, gee wonder why ; )... Thanx Pibbles and EC you guys rock.Replied By Had (White River Jct, Vermont) on 06/06/2013
J, thank you. I've always had white teeth. I have health issues and have gotten rid of all the toxic products and foods, using natural tooth cleaning, OP, no coffee (way hard), now all of a sudden I have gross looking teeth! yellowing, browish discoloration. My big smile is missing, this is beyond embarrassing. I too tried the HP a while ago, but not for that length of time... So, I just did it, the brown is already gone, still yellowy looking, but now I have hope. I will be on this 3 times a day til I look right again. thank you for the tip/clarification.Replied By Gabriella (Long Island) on 05/21/2015
Tooth decay is bad for your teeth. I've been reading all these comments about hydrogen peroxide and baking soda and salt and lemon... and everyone says it's bad for your enamel. we drink lemonade, eat tomatoes (acid) and salt on our food, and baking soda is bicarbonate a derivative of salt, used in antacids. We take those, are you worried about your teeth when popping them into your mouth for your teeth to chop on? Hydrogen peroxide is used as an antiseptic, and now in laundry detergent as Oxyclean. I used HP on clothing soiled in blood and watched it literally lift the blood out of the fabric. It's amazing stuff. Why wouldn't you use it to disinfect your mouth, tongue, between your teeth and keep it healthy. Most people would rather use listerine. Now that's not harsh? It can burn the hair from your nose by just gargling. Use common sense....Clean mouth is a healthy mouth. Healthy mouth, healthy body and mind. I've used HP in my ears to clear wax build up and with a Q-tip up my nose when I've had sinus infections. It speeds up recovery time. Go for it you will actually get hooked on it.
Enjoy the feeling!

Janie D, can you tell us what dosage of HP you use? How much do you dilute it? You do use food grade HP, correct?
