    Hydrogen peroxide you mean? I have. It cuts down on the acute inflammation. I use this weird gel my dentist gave me that works a lot better though.

    Peroxide as mouth wash? I thought that was poisonous, but if you guys are still alive I guess I'm wrong.

    Does it whiten your teeth too? Seriously. I want to know.

    My oral hygentist told me that by simply brushing, flossing, and using listerine, you can take care of it that way.

    why would you think it was poisonous? its used to clean wounds...and is found in a TON of toothpastes....you know...baking soda and peroxide? usually in WHITENING toothpastes.

    I think it is just bad if you swallow it. Not deadly, but I'm pretty sure it would upset your tummy. Using it as a mouthwash would have no ill effects.

    it's listed right on the label, dilute 50/50 with water to use as a mouth rinse.

    I have used it...

    I have brushed my teeth and while its getting "lathered up", I drop some peroxide on the brush and then continue brushing.

    You should see the bubbles. Its crazy.

    And tastes like ass.

    Hydrogen peroxide was used by the Army to treat "trench mouth" in the troops during World War I. I believe "trench mouth" was a term for severe gingivitis.

    I've used hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash and it works fine. I'm sure it could be poisonous if you swallowed it...but then, so is toothpaste (in large quantities). And yes, it will whiten teeth, very slowly.

    I can't speak for its anti-gingivitis effects, not having had it myself. Regular flossing is key for that.

    I use it for everything, and I don't dilute it. I heard you're supposed to dilute it with distilled water only...and I don't have time for that.

    I'm almost 30 and never had a cavity or gum problem in my life.

    By "almost 30", I mean...21 or 23 or something.

    Yeah

    I don't dilute it either. Just swish for 30 seconds and spit, then rinse.

    I thought recent studies have shown that HP is NOT good? That it actually can kill off good tissue when used?

    I don't know if I'd want to use HP in my mouth. Unless I'm just remembering wrong.

    It burns living tissue, that's what the mad bubbles do. When you clean a wound with it, it cauterizes it. That's why they say not to use it on body piercings.

    It kinda kills everything. Germs, tissues, etc. I'm sure it's find to use in your mouth since it has no effect on unbroken healthy skin.
