I've used baking soda and hydrogen peroxide for years. Great for whitening teeth and killing bacteria.
hmm. Getting into my 40's my teeth were a bit yellow. At that time I started swishing my mouth with full strength [3%] peroxide for about 30 second then brushing my teeth and then after take another mouthful and hold it as long as I can after getting into the shower. My teeth have whitened by I'd say 90% and I have never seen any negative signs. I'm now in my mid-60's and I have no teeth sensitivity at all. Maybe I have demon mouth bacteria that is immune lol.
This guy gives much better advice than Teeth Talk Girl. He's my go-to guy for accurate mouth/teeth care info.
She annoys me. I don't know why
❤❤❤ I found my friends lol, she annoys me too! I loathe her
@@Mermaidlife97 🤭🤭🤭
She is annoying
@@Skiink_X valid but she's kinda hot
I was advised by an older dentist ( in his 60 ‘s ) to use Hydrogen Peroxide twice a day , morning and late evening, I just used the cap on the bottle as a gauge, I put 1 x Hydrogen peroxide into a very small glass,, and then 2 x caps of water , I swished around in the glass to mix it , then I took half what was in the glass and gargled and swished it between my teeth for around 30 seconds and spat out into sink , I then did the same with the half left in glass, I didn’t rinse / gargle my mouth out with water until a couple of minutes had passed thus allowing the Hydrogen Peroxide to work its magic ! I then cleaned teeth with toothpaste. I found this cleared up my bleeding gums , I also noticed it tightened the gums around some loose teeth as well, I did this for 2 to 3 weeks, to stop all bleeding .
I still use it now but only in the mornings and not every morning, I have been using since I was 15 and now 68 , best antiseptic ever , used all the time by surgeons and vets years ago , before all the expensive medications pushed by Pharmaceutical reps .
I have same problem. No matter how much I clean dentist said most likely I have genetic gum disease ? Well she always says one area of my gum is inflamed or she is afraid it will get inflamed so I’m made to go in every 3
Months . I am
So diligent with cleaning it’s upsetting. I have a good healthy balanced diet , never been mad on sweet treats . Desert once a week home made . I don’t like
Sweet drinks.
Our choice drink at home and outside is water . So I’m going to try this , bit scared though. I don’t know any British person who uses it !
Its a cheap option and it wont do any further damage so it wont hurt to try @luluah1198
I think the issue is people don't dilute it. I use it with water and baking soda as a toothpaste. It works wonders
@@luluah1198vitamin c helps & get a floss pick & use the pick as well..The gums will become stronger and will stop bleeding... ascorbic acid powder vitamin c is the absolute best
PRECISELY! BIG PHARMA ALWAYS RUNNING SOME TYPE OF FINANCIAL SCAM!
I have used 3% hydrogen peroxide full strength as a mouth wash from the bottle every single day for 42 years. My teeth are as clean every single day as anyone who just got out of the dentist chair after a cleaning.
It didnt make your teeth sensitive?
No, not at all. 3% is a very mild concentration. I rinse with water afterwards... Don't swallow it. @@Andrew-lr6uj
@@Andrew-lr6uj I've heard that it can make one's teeth a bit more sensitive, but it varies from person to person, I didn't have any side effects.
Absolutely!!!
I brush my teeth with peroxide every day.
My gums feel better rinsing with diluted hydrogen peroxide 2x a day rather than commercial mouthwash. I put baking soda on my toothpaste too, and my gum irritation has disappeared.
Baking soda destroys your teeth!!! DON'T USE IT!!
As a nursing assistant, all the patients that had beautiful teeth rinsed with peroxide every morning
Diluted or undiluted please?
@@JenniferAgim-cr4bu undiluted 😊
Do you mean just clean and healthy? Because this doctor says it does not whiten teeth.
@@meghoughton562 Yes healthy and white. Ofcourse dentists are against it, takes $ outta their pockets
Really? LOL You did a survey and asked each one?
Loved that you showed some product references at the end!! I've been looking for some recommendations, and thanks to that I got to do my research, mostly investigating the ingredients and usage of Hydrogen Peroxide, and I can finally say I have some good candidates :)) Keep up the great content!!!
🦷🌷thank you for clearly clarifying the use of hydrogen peroxide as a rinse.
Once per day, I rinse/swish with 3% 1st, then use electric toothbrush with flouride-free, charcoal, clay, & colloidal silver toothpaste, then floss, then rinse/swish with 3% H2O2 again, then use manual toothbrush with colloidal silver only, & lastly rinse/swish/gargle with purified water. Never had any problems & no dentist appts in around 20 yrs.
Thanks for sharing your routine! It sounds quite intensive, is there any reason why it's so comprehensive? Not a judgement, I'm genuinely curious and looking at other methods of oral hygiene for myself.
@@Happy.Chappy Thanks! Not too intensive for me though, as I can only do oral hygiene once per day. After research & personal testing I settled on what works for me👍
I didn't know that there's a toothpaste with all of those. What brand is it?
@@DashingPartyCrasher curious as well
@@DashingPartyCrasher the 1 I used to use was only available online & pretty expensive & took 6-8 weeks to arrive, so I make my own with any brand's fluoride-free charcoal toothpaste, mix in the bentonite clay & colloidal silver (Silver Wings brand I get at a chain grocery store named Sprouts). Sometimes I put a few dropper glass tube amounts in my mouth after I'm done & swish around for a minute then spit out & avoid drinking anything for the next 10 min.
Thanks for your honest opinion, DR! We appreciate you! 😊❤❤
I always tell my patients limited to No More Than 3 days of use. Due to the increase of white hairy tongue and granulation tissue.. I'm a hygienist in Michigan and I think you're awesome doctor Nemeth and I have sent so many people over to you.
I use every day. Never had these problems. Use the 3%.
@@jodyeldoes the bottle say for external use?
@@iimalivebutimdead No, it says First Aid Antiseptic and Oral Debriding Agent. I am using mine right now.
ah this would've been helpful before I have increase of white hairy tongue due to over use. After I saw this 2 days after using it 4 times a day daily (i know I definetely overused it) I immediately stopped using it. Should I just wait? Or is there a remedy?
@@sockclicker I usually just do it once per day. But I do it every day. I've had no issues with that.
Thank you for the information and for the Christopher Walkens vibe 👍
Excellent explanation!!
Thank you for great tips
I am 77, I never use tooth paste, I have used Peroxide 3% more years that I can remember
I gargle it as well, I have all my teeth.I also use it in my ears
Hi, dont you use dental floss or interdental brushes like were told to do?
@@gtibruce No, I always do the opposite of what I am told, I learned it from my parents. ,have a good day
I once had tonsillitis. Hurt like heck to swallow and had two large goose eggs on either side of my throat. Gargled with my 3% HP and then spit out, rinsed, and fell in bed for 14 hours. When I woke up all signs of tonsillitis were gone. Gargled once more for good measure and that was that. Completely gone and no doctor or antibiotics needed. Now anytime I even get a sore throat that's the first thing I do...gargle with HP and sore throat gone. I also use in my ears. Clean all my countertops (kitchen and bathroom), appliances, vegetables, you name it, with it. It's fantastic stuff!
@@jodyelMe too to all you said. My kids do the same. No ear infections or teeth decaying due to our usage of HP. It has save our health many times over the years. ❤
@@yinyangcalmness178 Excellent! Glad to hear that. Best wishes.
Hi Dr., what are you thoughts on using neem bark powder for brushing your teeth and oil pulling to also rid your mouth of bacterial. Thank you in advance.
THANK YOU FOR THIS INFO, TAKE CARE
GREAT information to know. Thanks 4 sharing. Cheers !!😎😎
I've had really bad teeth all my life.
My current dentist suggested I brush for 30 seconds with hydrogen peroxide before regular brushing. I've never had better check ups in all my life! I just dip my tooth brush into hydrogen peroxide, brush for 30 seconds then rinse.
Me the same. I will do that
@@LauraJohnson-gn8ww did it make your teeth whiter?
Does it burn?
@@thefreakyrobber0 no, but don't swallow. 🙄

Put a few drops on the toothbrush with toothpaste and gently work the brush in between the teeth. Great stuff.
Facts
Thanks for the information.
I have been using peroxide charcoal toothpaste and coconut oil forever. I love it
Thank you so much sir ... Great information
I put a bit in my waterpick and use it 80 to 90 % water everyday😊
I know someone who uses HP once a day for mouthwash , swishes for 5 minutes. Has the whitest teeth I’ve ever seen and never had cavities !!!
My tooth routine is:
1. Floss all teeth (especially the ones way in back)
2. Brush teeth and gums with toothpaste, and also brush the tongue
3. Rinse the brush, brush everything again with water
4. Rinse the brush and mouth
5. Take a "swig" of H202 (about half a shot's worth), brush teeth, gums, and tongue
6. Rinse thoroughly, and rinse once more.
Haven't had a cavity in over 20 years now.
You forgot toilet brush to clean your throat
@@TNT-km2egstop it 😂😂
But you have not told us how much SUGAR is in your diet!?
Your use of hydrogen peroxide after using tooth paste would remove the beneficial qualities of the fluoride in the tooth paste. Then you are leaving cleaned teeth unprotected again within minutes of rinsing. And rinsing any acid out of your mouth is a necessity. Acids can remove tooth enamel if not carefully used especially long term without your seeing it till it was too late.
@@WilliamMurphy-uv9pm I have yet to see one study showing a specific reduction as a percentage in cavities for fluoridated toothpaste as compared with a control. But you'd need that to show the OP's process is unhelpful. I was unable to find any study and suppose no such study may have ever been done. After all, the absolutely crazy assumption that DRINKING fluoride is healthy was a pure assumption as if you want a known toxin flowing through your entire body to get a tiny fraction of it on the teeth.
Appreciate your Advice. Very important me.
My granny when she was alive believed that good teeth and good hair come together. One more time she is right since you have good hair and good teeth doctor. You also have a good soul. Thank you doctor.

Granny was not correct, sorry. I am 63 with full shiny reddish brown hair. My teeth have always been shite.

Great information. Thank you!
I was using it and was told by a dentist not to. I'm going to start using it again. Thank you Doc
@@BigREDoneHooah I know.
I ended up with gingivitis and my bottom teeth ended up developing an etched texture which is especially noticeable on my bottom fronts. I used it to help with the nicotine stains for about 5 or 6 mornings in a row about 1/2 way between my 9 month cleanings. My dentist said never again. I'll trust her over some YT video.
Just use tera breath mouth wash, its great, also has oxygen inside
@@jimdent351 This isn't some random youtube video. This is by a reputable periodontist, which is probably more reputable than your dentist is. If you just read the thousands of comments from people who have been helped by using hydrogen peroxide, you'll see it's benefits. Remember, MOST dentists WANT you to get cavities. they would lots of business of people didn't get cavities and gum disease. Yet baking soda has helped tons of people get less cavities. Dentists don't want to hear that.
@@down-the-rabbit-hole I'm just telling you my experience. It's not that my teeth had tartar, or were they ever unhealthy. I ended up getting bleeding gums a few weeks later, and when I went to the dentist I was told I had gingivitis. I put straight into my mouth and left it for several minutes. My teeth now feel rough and more sensitive. How else can it be explained what happened to me.
From Dr Google: Using hydrogen peroxide in a rinse or a paste may help whiten your teeth. But a high concentration may cause side effects, including damaging your teeth. Teeth whitening has become more popular in recent years as more products come onto the market.
I'm sorry but I tend to believe my dentist and the above paragraph because it happened to me.
Thanks for the information. Will be trying it for the first time,so wanted to double check. Cheers.
Hows it going?
It says on the label 3% hydrogen peroxide "for use as a gargle".
I use it as a mouthwash and for a multitude of other things. Great stuff.
Correction: hydrogen peroxide kills yeast and fungi! Perhaps she used an antibiotic?
Correct
I have used it since 1981. Soak my toothbrush before and after i use it. Brush my teeth with baking soda occaisionally too.
Great video. Thank you.
Very helpful
Interesting video, thank you
it does whiten your teeth and gives you fresher cleaner breath. my Toung has never turned black...
I've been using 35% food grade mixed with distilled water. I put some in my mouth and put baking soda on my toothbrush. After brushing I rinse well with plain water.
Thank you Doc
ive been a fan since your NFL days
😉👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣….I thought the same!
Thank you so much doc
It's helps alot when you have an abscess in your mouth
Thank you for this helpful video. I was using it full strength... but no more!!!!
Why dilute it?
Peroxide is mostly water. Why add more?
Hydrogen peroxide actually does whiten teeth as well as any whitener such as carbamide peroxide (the stuff in most tooth bleaches), but it does it more slowly for the simple reason that (1) it is less concentrated, (2) it isn't in a gel form which adheres and stays on the tooth longer. I'm not sure why this doctor is downplaying it so much going so far as saying "it's not going to whiten your teeth", then backpedaling to say "at least not effectively". He ended up with a correct statement, but only after first misleading. Ironically, before Crest Whitestrips hit the market, most OTC whitening products used hydrogen peroxide stabilized with gels bases, and even today you can find these as inexpensive whiteners. So in spirit at least, the information he gave was incorrect regarding its bleaching capabilities. The time frames for hydrogen peroxide whitening of teeth usually span months rather than just days for stronger bleaches like carbamide peroxide.
Very ironically the most common tooth bleach used today, carbamide peroxide, was not originally developed as a tooth bleach...it was first used as an oral antiseptic much as hydrogen peroxide is commonly used. Orthodontists used it for their patients to help keep teeth and gums healthier when braces were used, and one enterprising orthodontist noticed its bleaching capability and realized there was far more money in the cosmetic use of it than it's antiseptic use...hence the crossover use as a bleach began. The FDA had only approved it as an antiseptic, so initially the crossover use as a bleach was limited by doctor prescription, - it had to be prescribed as a bleach. Hence you saw most OTC bleaches use hydrogen peroxide. I don't fully know the politics of this, but sometime in the 1990's FDA position on this changed, and the OTC floodgates opened so you saw products using carbamide peroxide being used openly OTC by 2000 or so.
Does it strip the enamel?
@@barbarawebb7185 no, but lemon juice will. Anything acidic will, and fluoride resists enamel stripping by acids, that is why it is used in the first place.
@@Zuckerpuppekopf how do you know that peroxide won’t hurt the enamel? Are you a dental professional?
@@barbarawebb7185 Hydrogen peroxide been in use commercially for 100 years. Hydrogen peroxide is even created by and used in the the human body itself. Topical concentrations are higher, but there is no research that indicates peroxide harms enamel. Why would you imagine that in the first place? Go look it up yourself. Google search is a wonderful thing.
TY TY Wow, smh when you don't know. Excellent information. Greatly appreciated.🤗

Thank you so much. IT WORKS, more than a MAGIC 😊 😊😊😊😊
Thanks for sharing
thnx for the vid doc!
Thank you!❤
Hi Doctor, you said there were other products out there that are equally as good, but didn't mention what they're.
Thank you so much Sir.❤
Thank you for this! In my ignorance I have been using hp, undiluted, as a mouthwash, thinking it was probably better than flavored commercial mouthwashes. Fortunately I only used it occasionally, apparently not enough to have done any serious damage, like the examples you showed. Henceforth I will use it no more, at least undiluted. Thanks again for educating me.
I use every day and don't dilute. Nothing bad to show for it.
@@jodyelwhat % is your bottle ?
@@mumnotthebelt.7207 Just the kind you can get at the drug store...3%. Could dilute if you like but I never have. I have also used a diluted bleach rinse I found on an orthodontist's website but since the taste is so bad I don't use frequently...maybe twice a month. But your mouth will be pristine using that. My mouth never felt so clean as when I used the bleach rinse. I don't have dental insurance and am on SS disability so have to use all the free/cheap methods I can.
@@mumnotthebelt.7207 Just the 3% you can get at Walmart or the drugstore. Can dilute if you want but I haven't. I also use a bleach rinse recipe (unscented bleach) I found on an orthodontist's website but since the bleach doesn't taste good, I use it infrequently...maybe twice a month. But my mouth has never felt cleaner than after using that. If I could stand the taste, that's what I'd use every day. And since I am on SS disability with no dental insurance, I need all the free/cheap options I can get.
@@mumnotthebelt.7207 I have answered this three times already and all my responses have been taken down. YT sucks for not keeping replies. I use 3%. I wrote much more but it has never shown up here. Sent you an email with more information.
I used to use diluted peroxide as a rinse daily, but my teeth got sensitive. Now I use it two or three times a week. Sensitivity went away.
I ended up with gingivitis and my bottom teeth ended up developing an etched texture which is especially noticeable on my bottom fronts. I used it to help with the nicotine stains for about 5 or 6 mornings in a row about 1/2 way between my 9 month cleanings. Like you my teeth got sensitive too and are forever damaged. When I get cleanings they need to use numbing gel beforehand. My dentist said never again. I'll trust her over some YT video. I would stop if I were you.

Just started to use it wrong (straight)..and so it was a good idea to check youtube about this.
thank you!
Great video
I was reading the bottle few weeks ago and found out it was oral , i never new this all my life of puttingbon external cuts. But i rinsed half n half with water and knocked out sore throat in one day..
After 2 weeks of using Dr.Auchi herbal medicine for my bad breath disease, it was cured. That was the reason I decide to let everyone know that Dr.Auchi herbal medicine worked for me in curing my Bad Breath because it is on TH-cam platform that I found it…✅✅
I knocked out tonsillitis with it once. Great stuff.
It does whiten the teeth when used with the retainer overnight.
Sir, hydrogen peroxide can the ability to white composite filling teeth which is in yellowish shade??
Thanks very much
Used it for over 30 years for colds,never got one!
Dont use alot! Timing is key!
What awhat are you talking about. Be specific
I put it in my waterpik mixed 50-50 with water. My teeth and gums are great!
Is it any good for teeth whitening?
I use Crest Clinical mouthwash with CPC and Hydrogen Peroxide ! The best mouthwash Ive ever used !
Good to have few bottles of this in your home
I always keep about 10 at any given time. Clean almost everything with it.
I have been using 3% HP as a mouth swish and ive noticed a huge improvement. Ive also noticed that for people like me with gum disease that a Netipot for sinuses reduces inflammation and pressure on back teeth. It might be a good thing to try. 3% HP mouthwash and Netipot.👍
HOPE YOUR USING STERILIZED WATER IN THAT NETIPOT, SOME FOLKS HAVE USED TAP WATER AND ENDED UP WITH BRAIN WORMS. TAKE CARE.

Gratitude.
You said that there are alternatives that are just as good or better than hydrogen peroxide, but neglected to mention them. What are please?
Listerine, also I forgot to ask that whether if the H2O2 destroys all the bacteria 🦠 including the good ones? if it destroys the good ones then it's perhaps not that useful to use regularly
Shown in the pics at 3:25 . The usual recommended alternative is white strips. Some of them contain a certain % hydrogen peroxide in them and are more effective. Crest white strips are what I use. They are pricey but I only get them once every 1-2 years. They do a good job. Also adding the crest whiting mouthwash I think makes a big difference. Good luck✨
My dentist said use "salt" mixed with water
@@michaelkim2147 Thanks 🦷 🙂
Oral bleach rinse (unscented bleach)...teaspoon (I use a tablespoon because I like it stronger) of bleach in a cup of water. Kills the biofilm and leaves your mouth feeling pristine. If I could stand the taste, I'd used more often. But as it stands, I do once per week. Google "oral bleach rinses."
I read a lot about advantages of HP, tried 3% from the pharmacy in many applications and was surprised it showed little effect if at all. I was looking for answers why. And the answer is: the preservative/stabilizer in HP blocks all benefits of HP. Simple as everything genius. 😊 I also used 12% HP from a heardresser's salon for warts removal. This one worked.
There is zero preservative in Hydrogen Peroxide. Look again.
@@markweaks2239, you mean on the lable or sticker? They do not always write that. But hydrogen is not sold without a preservative or in other word - stabilizer. That goes without saying. It's a normalcy. You can order one without, on request.
Hydrogen peroxide solutions without preservatives should not be stored for more than a week or two, as the lack of stabilizers causes the solution to rapidly decompose and become unsafe, even at room temperature. Longer-term storage is not recommended for these preservative-free formulations.
@@TroyQwert Thank you in advance, again, thanks in advance for your upcoming clarification as to the specific preservative or stabilizer used. Please reveal the particular stabilzer and/or preservative used in Hydrogen Peroxide 3% Solutions commonly found in stores. Thanks, in advance, for your answer.
I bleach with 22 % Carbamide peroxide . Super whitening . 😀
You're right, "occasionally" only. I got oral thrush from it years ago because I used it on my tooth brush with my toothpaste every day. It seemed a good idea at the time. It wasn't.
I find Crest Diamond to be superior to Listerine. Go for those white mouthwash bottles.
How many hours does it kill the bacteria for ?
I used in my water pic, about 1/4 3% HP and 3/4 hot tap water. When I did this every day, twice a day, my gums started to blister after a couple weeks. But if I do it about once a week, everything is fine.
Your gums were telling you it was too strong, even diluted
combined with the HOT tap water may have made your gums to sensitive....try room temp. water...
Maybe ten years ago I saw an internet blog about using diluted peroxide as a mouthwash wash. In those little cups I will put about a cap full of 3% peroxide and fill about 3/4 full of water. I use this basically every day. Other than the problems I had before doing this my semi annual checkups are fine.
You need distilled water
👍good to know; i was surprised to see a blackish tongue due to use of full strength hydrogen peroxide (i guess it later became pink and normal but must have taken a long time to normalize) but i first thought i would see dead gum in her mouth.
Great information thanks Doc!
Subbed 👍
Use it to clean your toothbrush occassionally. Just pour it on the bristles and watch it bubble up, then rinse it off with water.
Hi Dr. Did you have a video reference impact canine for kids 13 year old treatment gold chain procedure? Tks 😊
Not true about it not whitening teeth! If it doesn't whiten, why would Crest and others have HP as the active ingredient in their whitening products? I have on rare occasions used full
strength HP (while brushing immediately afterwards) and there is a noticeable difference after just ONE use!
It and baking soda whitened my teeth. When the dentist gave me fillings, their whitest color didn't match my teeth's whiteness.
In the vid, the doctor said it had to do with the amount of peroxide. Apparently, whitening toothpaste manufacturers use a concentrated HP amount with higher bleaching properties than what is available in the 3% bottle most of us have at home.
@annheatherton Just got my 12% delivery from ebay.. 3% may be slightly weak. Im opting for 6% by diluting with water 1:1 ratio. Ill report back the results.
I've used it all my adult life.....once daily when I brush my teeth
Do they have the same problems with the destruction of Nitric Oxide as mouthwashes do?
I mix a lil with my crest whitening mouth wash
Thank you doc! Some says 1 to 1 ratio but some says 1 tbsp hydrigen & 4 tbsp water.
Mustard seed oil is also a potent disinfectant.
It is antiviral, antibacterial and antiinflammatory.
You need only a few drops every other day.
For tooth brush of course, swallowing is not advisable.
It has really hot propensity.
Where do you get this
@@angelofamillionyears4599
It contains sulfur glycosides which have antibacterial properties.
I do that every time when I get toothache, after that toothache disappears.
You can get it in Indian spice shops,
Asia shop, middle eastern shop... like that.
What do you use it for?
