Answer 6

Peroxide used to be used for mouthwash and alcohol for antiseptic. Now it seems to be the other way around.

I, personally, have used 3% peroxide, mixed with a little water, to gargle with for years. No harmful experiences were ever experienced. One does not swallow the stuff, but spit it out and rinse your mouth out with water.

Bleaching teeth can lead to breakdown of the tooth's enamel over time. This is a fact. Peroxide is a bleaching agent. Peroxide, used judiciously will do no harm. It also helps to mitigate some gum diseases.

These are some sites that may help you make your own decision. I recommend snopes.com to answer many questions about emails or other information and urban legends.

Answer 7

pour a little peroxide on toothbrush and dip into some baking soda (pour some in a separate container to not contaminate whole box.)
use a soft or medium toothbrush and brush away.
try to always do this after drinking coffee tea or red wine.
theres also a good paste topol tooth polish,if yo can find it. whiten slowly instead of fast for best long term results..
the strips and even dental office procedures can leave your teeth sensitive and blue-ish.

Answer 8

I worked for a dentist for 15 years....peroxide does work, tastes yucky and will burn your gums if you brush too hard. It's best if you dip it w/a little toothpaste to help flavor and strength. If you have an older "resin" filling in a front tooth, it won't really help. Brush the front teeth up and down motion ... not straight acroos the gumline You will notice some white spots on your gums and back of your throat, just rinse well with lukewarm water and don't swallow! You should not use this method every day though....two or three times a week is plenty.

Answer 9

Stay away from the professional teeth whitening procedures and from the whitening at home kits. They are using extremely toxic chemicals that can cause IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO TOOTH ENAMEL and premature tooth decay.

Check out this site: http://www.naturalwhiteteeth.net - It's about how you can whiten your teeth 100% naturally. Same results but 100% safe and 1000 times cheaper.

Answer 10

I grew up with the stuff. Get a small cup of baking soda and dig your toothbrush into it.. then when it's stuffed, dip it into another small cup of peroxide and immediately start brushing your teeth.
Your tongue with take some time to get use to it, but your mouth and gums will love it enough though it feels strange at first. Now I only use arm and hammer baking soda and peroxide toothpaste.
