Hydrogen Peroxide on teeth??


Question: Today i dip my toothbrush in Hydrogen Peroxide , then I brushed with toothpaste and whitening gel combined. Since then, my mouth has been dry , teeth feel like sand, and my tongue has lost taste.
I've done this before and nothing like this has happen. Do you think i should go the dentist ,or waited out ?
Answers: Dentist won't be of much help now. You dried out the tissues of the mouth by overdoing it on the peroxide, that's all. Peroxide is just a different type of bleaching agent, and it does damage tissue just like the regular stuff in the laundry. Best thing you can do is not repeat todays performance. The whitening gel alone is plenty, if you want whiter teeth that it provides, visit the dentist for a professional job in controlled conditions next time. It's safer and saner, if you just must have the dazzling white smile. Meantime, just keep drinking plenty of liquid and wait it out. The damaged tissue will slough on it's own and the sense of taste will return in a day or so. And use a plain old toothpaste without the whitening agent, and skip on the mouthwash until then. You've done quite enough to the mucous membranes already. Peroxide in the mouth needs to be greatly diluted, and stuff you can dip a toothbrush in is meant for external use only. So do your mouth a favor, and stick with the stuff designed to be used in the mouth, and use it the way it's labeled.
why wait? Ya never know what's going on in there.
Wait it out.
wha... why?
Go yo a dentist. If your mouth feels weird tomorrow as well, then go. Ask them about putting that stuff on your teeth as well.
thats a little extreme,,,
If you must go get white go see a dentist

dont risk it

and like Nurse said wait it out dont use any more....cept fer regular toothpaste!
They make toothpastes and mouthwashes out of hydrogen peroxide. All those over the counter tooth bleaches are hydrogen peroxide, and so are some of the ones the dentist uses. It doesn't taste good, but it has no lasting effect.

Do you usually mix your toothpaste and whitening gel? Do you usually rinse your toothbrush in peroxide before you use it? You might have come up with a nifty chemical reaction there.

This doesn't sound like an emergency, but if you are concerned and you still have the problem when the weekend is over, you should see a doctor or dentist. I bet it doesn't last that long unless it was caused by something else.
I'm not too sure abt it. However, there are many ways to whiten your teeth.


Here are many ways that you can whitening your teeth!

For home remedies.

Mix baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to form toothpaste. Brush the teeth regularly with this paste. It will remove all stains in a month.

Use bicarbonate of soda 5 minutes before brushing the teeth with normal toothpaste in the morning. This is a good home remedy for teeth whitening.

Rubbing the bark of walnut tree on the teeth helps in removing all stains from the teeth.

Strawberries are considered natural teeth whiteners. Rubbing the teeth with strawberries daily will remove all the stains.

If you would like a suggestion on tooth whitening gel, here's something for you!

Crest Night Effects Whitening Gel (about $18.00) allows you to remove stains while you sleep. The tooth whitening system has a fresh, wintergreen flavor. After fourteen days of sleeping with this product on your teeth, you will wake up to a vibrant smile. You should see results in two days, although there are reports of tooth whitening results in one night
