people saying that swishing with hydrogen peroxide can get your teeth really white. Will it actually whiten the teeth? Is it safe?
Answer: Hydrogen Peroxide Thanks for your question. Swishing with a very low dose of hydrogen peroxide diluted with water can help keep stains off teeth but is definitely not the most effective or efficient way to whiten. In office whitening is still the gold standard and you can maintain your white smile at home with white strips. As an aside, instead of swishing with hydrogen peroxide try brushing with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. This will help keep stains from accumulating. Good luck and follow us for more info!

Answer: Is It Safe to Swish with Hydrogen Peroxide to Whiten Teeth? Thank you for asking a great question. 3% Peroxide is ok to use occasionally, but whitening of the teeth will take some time. Professonal whitening systems do it much faster and more predictably.All the best to you.

Answer: Hydrogen Peroxide to Whiten Teeth is it Safe? Hydrogen peroxide is a bleaching agent, but using a medical grade solution, more than 3% won't do you or your teeth much good. Your teeth will whiten over time, but it could take months, or even years, before they will get brighter. Your best defense against stained and discolored teeth is a professional tooth whitening appointment. Our practice uses a few different professional tooth whitening procedures including Zoom!, which is a chairside whitening treatment that will give you whiter teeth in a single dental appointment. Good luck with your professional tooth whitening treatment!

Answer: Safe with Hydrogen Peroxide I have to be careful here when I say most products that are available for rinsing with that have hydrogen peroxide, do no have a very high percentage. On the internet all manner of products are available, so I can not assume that the percentage is low (and therefore safe).Standard mouth rinses like Peroxyl may help with superficial stain. However this has a strong oxidising effect spread over your soft tissues. I would not recommend you to use this daily and permanently. Your dentist can provide in chair or home-trays to get an excellent whitening result that is safe.Good luck and hope you have successful whitening. Kind regardsThomas Dey, BDS, MSc
