Occasionally I will recommend hydrogen peroxide to my dental patients to treat stubborn dental gum infections at home. Since most gum infections (gum disease) is caused and furthered by bacteria that cannot grow in an oxygen rich environment, it makes sense to flood their environment with a molecule that releases oxygen, like hydrogen peroxide.
First have your teeth thoroughly scaled and cleaned by a dental professional. Then, when you floss, dip the floss in a mixture of 50% hydrogen peroxide and floss between the teeth, getting the floss as far down as possible under the gumline. Do every tooth contact twice and do this twice a day. It will cut down the pathogenic disease-causing organisms in the dental gum tissues pockets. It must be done consistently to have a lasting effect.
This is certainly not a cure-all since it cannot reach to the depth of deeper gum pockets. However, it will help to kill the organisms that cause gum disease. It is best used when the disease is relatively recent and has not caused extensive pocketing or bone loss.
One can finish the process by dipping ones toothrush in the 50% mixture of hydrogen peroxide and brushing the teeth and gums. Afterwards, one should rinse with water, as hydrogen peroxide leaves a an aftertaste that is not pleasent.

This stuff whitens teeth sooo well!!! I remembered my mom told me I should try this, but seeing that she doesn't use it (she doesnt whiten her teeth), I never saw the results. I didn't know what to try, but remembered what my mom told me, so picked up two bottles today.
With one use for one minute, my teeth were whiter than they had ever been after WEEKS of Crest white white strips, and other like-kits as well as whitening mouth wash AND whitening toothpaste.
Not only that, I could feel it killing the germs on my tongue and my gums were instantly less swollen (I have very sensitive gums).
This stuff REALLY IS incredible!! Thank you SOOO much MOM for telling me about this!!! It is SO affordable, but really works!
I'm just really impressed and want to let other people know.

Not too long ago, I read of a variety of ways to have fresher breath. One of the ways was to vigorously rinse the mouth with a 50% mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water for at least a minute prior to brushing. Then give the teeth a good brushing. Oxygen is death to bacteria and hydrogen peroxide is simply a water molecule with an extra atom of oxygen attached, which it readily releases to kill bacteria. Don't expect a miracle immediately as you may have an overwhelming amount of bacteria. Plus, it's good to have your teeth cleaned regularly. I recently had them cleaned and I've now been using this rinse and brush method for about a month. I can feel my mouth getting fresher day by day. It's amazing!
In any case, I picked up this Swan Hydrogen Peroxide Antiseptic Solution (16 ounces) at my local grocery store. It's not very expensive. You mix it with 50% water and only use a little at a time so it goes a long way. Read the warnings on the label, of course, and if you have any concerns, consult your doctor or dentist.

(#1 REVIEWER)I always have a bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide at home. It has so many uses! I use 50% solution of water and H.P. almost daily to clean my toothbrush. Sometimes I use the same solution to brush my teeth. It whitens the teeth well, although it does not taste great. However a little rinse with water fixes the after taste.
I used to use Hydrogen Peroxide for scrapes as well. Recently I fell and got a pretty nasty gash on my shin (4 inch by 0.25 inch). Because I was traveling I did not treat the wound as well as I should and got an infection. In a few weeks when I had to see the doctor to treat the infection, I asked what I should have used to clean the wound to avoid the problem next time.
Surprisingly, the doctor told me that Hydrogen Peroxide should not have been my first choice. The doctor said that H.P. does clean but also damages the healthy tissue and this prolongs healing. The doctor said that studies show that the best way to clean the wound is with plenty of plain water and soap and pressure on the wound to remove the debris. Hydrogen Peroxide should only be used if there is no access to clean water. So it should be in your emergency kit when you hike but not your first choice if there is access to soap and water.
Hope this helps someone to avoid a slow healing infection.
P.S. A note on price. My local grocery store sell 16 oz bottle for $1.50, I saw similar prices in a local pharmacy.

More than $6, more than six times the real price.
As someone else commented, this is a rip-off. Just buy it at your local pharmacy! (don't do as I did assuming that amazon has the best prices :( )
This was about half the price it usually sells for, I found out why when it arrivedit's in the wrong bottle. But who cares, the product is fantastic, wish I had ordered more at this price.
