Guest guest Posted September 27, 2001 Report Share Posted September 27, 2001 Mike, someone wrote a testimonial on this list some time ago regarding the use of H202 for whitening teeth. It was said to use 35% food grade H202 directly on the teeth.Apply with Q Tip. Put cotton under your lips to avoid burning. Supposedly the person that wrote it got the instructions from the dentist.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2001 Report Share Posted September 27, 2001 I am just amazed that you have not burned your gums. Are you especially careful to keep away from them, or does it not seem to be an issue. Is the tooth brush wet before you apply the two drops of 35% h202? Maybe that small amount of dilution has kept you from burning yourself. Donna -----Original Message----- Dear Group, I have been using H202 for brushing my teeth. I put two drops from a dropper bottle directly on my teeth and then brush with a regular tooth brush. Today as I looked in the mirror I noticed my teeth were shockingly whiter than they have been in adulthood. I was very happy since I have only been doing pure medical grade h202 directly on my teeth for two weeks and getting such great whitening results. Then I thought maybe 35% medical grade h202 that I am using is eating away at my teeth enamel?! Does anyone know if this could be the case? Is it dangerous to put two drops of medical grade h202 that you get at the health food store directly on your teeth and brushing your teeth with it without diluting it any at all?

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2001 Report Share Posted September 28, 2001 Dear Donna, No, I haven't burned my gums at all. I put the 35% grade h202 in a glass bottle with a dropper. I put two to three drops directly on my teeth and they immediately begin to foam like crazy. I run it around my mouth then I wet a tooth brush with water and brush my teeth. I can't believe how white my teeth have gotten. I just hope that h202 has not erroded the enamel and because of this I decided to stop doing it until I could find out if my teeth are being harmed by putting h202 directly on them.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2001 Report Share Posted September 28, 2001 Hi, Well I hope you get an answer. I decided to try it last night. I wet my tooth brush and dropped ONE drop on the top bristles with the brush held vertically, so that the h202 travels down through all the bristles. I figured this way it would be well diluted. And then I gingerly brushed the front of my teeth with it. I could actually feel warmth from the h202 on the bristles, but it wasn't too much and did not seem to bother my gums at all and it really whitened my teeth with just one usage. I did it again this morning and they are whiter yet. Very fun and very inexpensive. I don't know why it would hurt the enamel. I don't think it does. But, hopefully, someone will reassure us or tell us to not do this. Smile. Donna p.s. I tried doing it with a q-tip and it didn't seem to work. It seemed like the q-tip just absorbed it all and not much went onto the teeth. But this way seems to work great. -----Original Message---- Dear Donna, No, I haven't burned my gums at all.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 I've been using the 12% food grade H202. I can't find the 35% stuff. I take the eye dropper and put 3-5 drops directly on my teeth. It gently fizzes, and I have not experienced any irritation, pain or other undue problems from using the H202 this way. Haven't been doing it long enough to say how much whiter my teeth are (just since Friday), but I did want to say it isn't hurting my gums at all.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2001 Report Share Posted October 1, 2001 Hi Patty, I'm not a specialist, far from it, but I have have read that food grade H2O2 does whitten and clean teeth well by using 4-5 drops on toothbrush of diluted 35% to 171/2% by adding water [equal parts]. However it's not recommended to use it if you have metal in your teeth as it reacts to H2O2. In fact, I believe I have read this in one of Dr.'s book. regards Abutilon on 10/1/01 3:51 PM, Patty at fdp@... wrote: Have we gotten an answer on this yet from anyone on the group? Who would know?
