Is Hydrogen Peroxide Okay to swallow?
546590
If you are using it as a mouthwash or to brush your teeth, it won't hurt if you spit it out but a little goes down accidentally.  However, you should not swallow it deliberately!  H2O2 is poison if you get very much of it.

Put it on the back of your tongue and gulp it down with a big glass of water. The trick is to only think about drinking the water and keep your throat open. It's not big enough to get lodged or choke you.

You can rinse with Hydrogen peroxide just like regular mouthwash. It tastes TERRIBLE though. You are better off getting some Listerine(c)

You're probably using a mouthwash with hydrogen peroxide in it, which is the whitening agent.  You can just rinse your mouth with water after using the mouth wash, that should help.  If not, you might be sensitive to the peroxide.  Godloveya.

It's not dangerous to rinse with.  But it can make you sick if you swallow it.  If it was dangerous, they wouldn't be selling it.  Fluoride mouthrinses are very effective at preventing cavities.

Nothing if it was a small amount.  Some believe in drinking food grade peroxide for health benefits.

Warm salt water gargle.\n\nListerine mouth wash gargle( it works the best coz it's an antiseptic germ killer!) I had it bad the other day and couldn't hardly swallow mashed up banana and this is the only thing that got rid of it.\n\nI've heard of people gargling with hydrogen peroxide. You might want to dilute it though, coz it's too foamy if you don't.

I HAVE USED HYDROPEROXIDE FOR A FEW YEARS AT A RATION OF 50-50 TO HELP WHITEN MY TEETH AND IT WORKS QUITE WELL.  THE DENTIST  SAID TO BE CAREFUL WITH BAKING SODA BECAUSE IT CAN REMOVE THE  ENAMEL FROM YOUR TEETH  IF USED TOO OFTEN AND BRUSHED TOO HARD. AS FOR THE PEROXIDE BE SURE TO USE PEROXIDE  WHICH IS USED FOR  ANTISEPTIC PURPOSES AND  NOT FOR HAIR  BLEACHING.  SPARKY.  OH YES, IF YOU  USE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE FULL STRENGTH I  CAN BURN YOUR GUM TISSUE SO BE SURE TO DILUTE IT.  SPARKY

This would actually be a pretty bad idea. Hydrogen peroxide is toxic to cells and can be the source of oxygen free radical species. Your body actively tries to stop precisely this from occuring by using antioxidant molecules to prevent damage to DNA. If you are looking to get more oxygen to your individual cells there are several mechanisms by which O2 arrives at the cellular level. A)increase blood flow = more O2 to cells (ie. improve your heart health by exercising aerobically) B)increase O2 carrying capcity = more O2 per blood cell means more O2 to the other cells. You can accomplish this by eating right, getting enough iron in your diet and again, exercising regularly. C)increase O2 intake = try pure oxygen therapy at a spa or oxygen bar. This will allow you to breath high concentration oxygen and put more O2 in your system. Lastly D)increase your total number of red blood cells. This can be accomplished by moving to higher elevations where low O2 concentrations make your body adapt physiologically by making more red blood cells. Many athletes train at elevation to improve their aerobic performance temporarily for competitions. Hope this helps!

hydrogen peroxide is a reducing agent ie it removes oxygen from compounds when teeth are exposed to food particles that get stuck they form a film of yellow matter that cannot be removed hydrogen peroxide bleaches ie reduces the yellow matter it also kills bacteria by the same way by suffocation but too much of a good thing is bad and hydrogen peroxide with its mild acidic effect erodes the teeth over time

If you want to stop tooth pain and put your dentist out of business forever, the remedy is very simple.  No, it's not clove oil, or lavendar tincture, or anything else.  Rather, it comes in a brown plastic bottle, costs as little as a $1.50 for 16 ounces, and has been found in nearly every household for a hundred years:\n\nHydrogen Peroxide.  Take a mouthful and hold it in ur mouth for as long as you can---particularly around the sore tooth if you can and then spit it out.  Do this a few times a day for two or three days at most and the toothache will be gone--forever.  If you continue to do it as a daily routine, you'll also notice that your gums stop receding and actually build back up, your teeth get whiter, your mouth feels fresher and you don't get any cavities anymore.  Hydrogen Peroxide laughs at bacteria and then kicks the hell out of it.  You'd hear far more about it if the established medical community could make money off of it, but they can't.  It cannot be patented and is hopelessly inexpensive to produce.  Plus, if you also use it in your ears as well as a mouth rinse/gargle, you'll rarely get sick, if ever, and will rarely have allergies if you suffer from them.  The bubbling in your mouth, ears etc. is the Hydrogen Peroxide breaking down into Oxygen--bacteria's No. 1 enemy.  If any of you have children, and they start feeling ill, put a capful in their ears--bye bye flu, cold etc.  It's powerful stuff.

Pure silica sand will be unaffected by hydrogen peroxide. Salt (NaCl) will be dissolved in the H2O2-solution.\n\nIf you take sand from the garden or similar sources, the sand will have impurities (bacteria, decomposed organic matter, up to short fragments of roots) which will react with the H2O2 - large particles will be bleached, smaller ones will be oxidized and dissolved. H2O2-solution is used to free sediment samples of organic "glues" which prevent sieving. Depending on the degree of organic contamination, concentrations between 5 and 25% are used. Too strong solutions meeting lots of organic material will heat up, foam up and create a mess that can bleach skin and attack surfaces and organs (eyes, other tissue). Thinning with cold water usually slows down the foaming.

In a weak solution Hydrogen peroxide won't harm you, but full strength it might "burn" new cells off from inside your mouth.  Never use it full strength.  It is a germ killer.

Yes!  That's why your dr. will tell you for how long before the anasthetic you should avoid eating and drinking.\n\nThere is a huge danger of suffocation if you should vomit.\n\nIf you have eaten, please let the anasthesiologist and doctor know of your error.  Better to postpone the surgery than die of complications.
