From the lens Why You May Want To Try Hydrogen Peroxide Mouthwash For Yourself.

Warning: Note that the Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide in HPM is less than 2%. You may see Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide available at concentrations as high as 35%.

It Is Not Safe To Use 35% Hydrogen Peroxide as Mouthwash at Full Strength!

If you do not understand how to dilute Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide to levels safe for internal usage, then you should stick to products which have already been formulated in levels that are safe to use.

    Can I use hydrogen peroxide from grocery store?

    If it isn't approved for internal use, I wouldn't.

    Had no idea you could use it as mouthwash

    I believe hydrogen peroxide is one of the eco-friendly material that can be used for cleansing like what you are saying that it's an effective mouthwash. I myself also use such. Great lens!

    I do use hydrogen peroxide for many things - it is great!

    If you buy the 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide you must dilute!!!!!! It can burn and cause severe damage!!!!! I use it for my toothpaste with a natural baking soda, you can use it in bath water for oxygen, cleaning solution, watering your plants, there are so many uses. Its AWESOME!

    I have never thought of doing that... it sounds really disgusting.

    I'm not sure if you mean using 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide, or just Hydrogen Peroxide Mouthwash in general. The mouthwash doesn't taste bad, especially compared to some of the other antiseptic mouthwashes I've tried.

    For an alternative try Jason's Natural Healthy Mouth. It isn't an antiseptic mouthwash, but it has Aloe Vera, Clove and Tea Tree Oil, all of which have long been valued for their healing properties.

    I use it. I mix it up some with certain toothpastes only. love your opening image...drew me right in.
  • badmsm Sep 8, 2010 @ 11:30 pm | delete
    What I use all the time, it even lists mouthwash as one of the uses on the label! Great lens!
  • Dave Carrell May 26, 2010 @ 1:04 am | delete
    You can use the hydrogen peroxide you buy from the drugstore--just read the label first to make sure it's okay for oral use. I just checked the ones you can buy at CVS, Walgreens, and Whole Foods. All of them are okay for oral use, and all of them are already at 3% strength so you don't need to further dilute it.

    Great lens - I still don't think I'll be using this stuff, but still.

    Interesting lens, you've taught me something new, thank you
  • spunkyduckling Nov 25, 2009 @ 7:07 pm | delete
    Thank you so much for educating me about Hydrogen Peroxide uses and the disadvantages of tooth pastes and sugarless gum. And to think we pay so much more for sugarless gum in the hope that it will benefit us not knowing it may just be the opposite?
    I have bought hydrogen peroxide to use as mouthwash and just left it there...it is so strong but I'll try it again.

    Wow, thank you for the heads up about Hydrogen Peroxide as a Mouthwash. I learned some really new and valuable information by stopping by here so I am giving you a Blessing. Thank you.

    Very interesting. I've used hydrogen peroxide as a mouthwash before but didn't realize all of this. Great lens, Dan.

    I want to say again how much i love this lens. I think it's a great idea! Can you believe all the crap that dentists, of all people, have us put in our mouths?? And if you read the fine print, there are danger warnings about not swallowing. yea, like nobody swallows their toothpaste!

    I use hydrogen peroxide as a nasal rinse (to clean my nose out) & my sinuses have really improved. It's great for cleaning out scratches & wounds,too. I'll have to give the mouth wash treatment a try. Thks! :)

    I've been using hydrogen peroxide and baking soda for my teeth for years and I feel it works great! They also seem to be quite effective at whitening my teeth.

    I have been using regular hydrogen peroxide mixed in water for some time. How nice to know there is a real nice and tasty one out there. (and I don't have to be so careful about swallowing!) Thank you! Great idea!
  • Tipi Apr 26, 2009 @ 8:42 pm | delete
    Food grade hydrogen peroxide is an awesome product. In a mouthwash in safe amounts is a true stroke of genius! I have never tried this product, but I do know how to use food grade hydrogen peroxide in safe amounts. - It has to be a superior product over store brand mouth washes. - With the flue going around, this would be a great product for everyone to use. - Susie

    Never thought of using HP for mouthwash! Something new - thanks! 5*

    I don't use mouthwash too frequently but this does certainly seem like a much better option!
  • spirituality Mar 1, 2009 @ 2:01 am | delete
    Not sure I'll be following your example with mouth wash at all - but if I were, I would certainly go for a food grade product. There is a reason why many chemicals (and make no mistake, we are talking chemicals) are not meant for digestion. And the main reason is, as you said, that there will usually be rest chemicals left over from manufacture in there. There really is no reason to want those near your mouth.
