Hi is it safe to use hydrogen peroxide to fight bad breath and if yes what is are the ways to use it? Thanks
Answer: Hydrogen peroxide to fight bad breath? Halitosis or bad breath is usually 85% due to oral manifestation, and using hydrogen peroxide is not the treatment to get rid of bad breath. You will be needing a very comprehensive evaluation to find the cause of the bad breath and have proper treatment to eradicate the root cause of your problem. Having said that 50% hydrogen peroxide can be beneficial and an adjunct to heal your gums after deep cleaning. If mixed with ocean salt it can be used as a mouth wash, the over use of hydrogen peroxide can cause a hairy tongue syndrome.Use alternatively with non alcoholic mouth wash 2 to 3 times a week .

Answer: Hydrogen Peroxide use I do not recommend the use of hydrogen peroxide as a mouth rinse. I do have few patients who rinse with it and refuse to quit, however I try to convince them to at least dilute the hydrogen peroxide down to about 10% or less. The issue typically seen with hydrogen peroxide is sloughing of the gum tissue, basically the outside layers of your gums pull away come off. I would highly recommend the use of Listerine antiseptic or Crest ProHealth Rinse instead.

Answer: Bad Breath Never heard of that technique. Do know that using it makes you end up with a black coating on your tongue. If you want to get rid of bad breath, get any cavities filled, your teeth cleaned well, brush and floss daily, cut out the garlic and the smoking...............sorry. No easy answer.
