Guest guest Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Hydrogen peroxide is an excellent dentrifice for helping to whiten teeth and for killing off the bacteria that cause oral problems. However, hydrogen peroxide is a very strong oxidizing agent even at 3%. Therefore, you should always dilute it 50 - 50 with distilled water and if that still causes problems then dilute it even more down to .3 percent or less.
