Can you use peroxide for tooth ache?

Answer 1

You can put HP in your mouth and use it as a mouthwash. However, it can damage mucous membranes, so keep it brief and don't gargle. Never NEVER swallow it or use it on your eyes.Also it can damage you body if you swallow

it so be CAREFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Yes, it kills bacteria and germs. Make a mixture of "1/2 cup water" and "1 peroxide bottle capful" of peroxide for an everyday debriding mouth cleanser. Floss first then move the mixture around your mouth for about a minute or two followed by normal brushing. I do it all the time and it keeps my teeth and gums brilliant. If you add in brushing with some baking soda twice a week using a dab of sodium bicarbonate "baking soda" on top of your toothpaste ommiting using peroxide on those days you get a greater white benefit. Bye.

Answer 3

Absolutely! Colgate makes an antiseptic mouth rinse called Peroxyl that's intended for use if you have mouth sores, bleeding gums from recent dental work, etc. I've also found it to be effective against general gum problems when used daily with good overall oral hygiene (its directions say to use it only seven days at a time, but I say bunk, since it's generally safe to use peroxide and mouthwash every day).

However, at about $10 a bottle even at Walmart, Peroxyl is a bit pricey. But, here's the real kicker. It's just 1.5% hydrogen peroxide, 5.5% alcohol, food coloring, flavoring and artificial sweetener.

You can get a large bottle of 3% peroxide for less than $1, and you can generally get a large bottle of Listerine knockoff for less than $4. Then, you can mix equal parts peroxide and mouthwash for basically the same thing, with only the alcohol content and flavoring being the biggest variables. And, the alcohol in the half-peroxide/half-mouthwash mix will simply be half of whatever is in the mouthwash by itself.

So, for less than $2, you can make a perfectly effective alternative to Peroxyl that can even have as much as 17.5% alcohol by volume, which will make it even more effective at killing germs. But, if that's still too much alcohol for your tastes, you can just get a less alcoholic variety of mouthwash than Listerine.

So, to recap, yes. You can mix hydrogen peroxide with mouthwash. Doing so will give you $10 worth of super-germ-fighting mouth rinse for less than a fifth of the cost of the premixed stuff.

Answer 4

Hydrogen peroxide kills bacteria in your mouth but won't do a thing for the pain of a tooth ache. See if you can find some Orajel at your drugstore. That can make waiting to get in to see your dentist a little more bearable.

Answer 5

While hydrogen peroxide can help manage minor oral health issues such as mouth sores and gum inflammation, it is not recommended for toothache. Toothache is typically a sign of an underlying dental problem, such as tooth decay or infection, and requires evaluation and treatment by a dentist. Using hydrogen peroxide for toothache may not address the root cause and could potentially cause more harm.
