Brushing w/ hydrogen peroxide?!
Question: How bad would it be to brush with hydrogen peroxide to get those pearls really shining?
Answers: How bad would it be to brush with hydrogen peroxide to get those pearls really shining?
I have made a paste with hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. These are two ingredients found in whitening toothpastes already.
Mix the two, creating like a thick toothpaste with it.(it will fizzle). Dip toothbrush in and brush teeth (gently). Let the mixture sit on your teeth for about 5 mins (if you can stand it). Then rinse.
You want to do it only once a week, because your gums can become very sensitive. You want to brush gently, because the baking soda is pretty abrasive and you don't want to scratch your teeth and/or gums up. Once I brushed too rough with this and my gums peeled in spots and felt raw!
I tried this and saw a small improvement after the first time. Others saw improvements after 3 or 4 brushings (weeks).
Good Luck.
It wouldn't be bad but it probably wouldn't get them that shiny.
It is used as a rinse... It is an antiseptic.
I know where you are going with this.
Hydrogen Peroxide won't hurt your gums or teeth, but also won't make any significant change in the brightness in your smile unless you can keep it in your mouth for several hours at a time.
Nice try !
It's good as a rinse or gargle but it's not going to do much for whitening. Brush with baking soda for a good whitening polish.
Not a very good idea... First of all you don't brush your teeth for hours, so it won't be enough time to get it really work on the stains that comes from deeper within the teeth. Second it's not good for the gums, if you do that often I am afraid your gum would start to "shrink". If you want to do tooth bleaching go to the dentist, get a tray made for you and get the material from him/her. That material also contains other ingredients that helps the hydrogen peroxide go deeper into the tooth to work there.
