Is it ok to use hydrogen peroxide to rinse my mouth after dental implant surgery?

Hi and thank you for your question.The answer to you question is a big no, as hydrogen peroxide could kill the healing tissues and promote an infection. Instead, use Chlorhexidine rinse to keep everything clean and to lower the bacterial count in your mouth. Please consult your surgeon. Good Luck!!Dr.Juan C. ArroyoOral and Maxillofacial Surgeon 

Dilute the peroxide to one half using water to prevent irritation of the wound. Salt water is the preferred rinse for implants and extractions as directed by your dentist.
