Hydrogen peroxide (in dilute form) is used as a tooth whitener (check the active ingredients on those gel-based tooth whiteners, they usually use H2O2). It also has the side effect of turning your gums pale temporarily, though it wears off in a few hours.
How to whiten your teeth with hydrogen peroxide: Brush your teeth. Swish with 1-2 Tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide for 1 minute. Swish with water for another minute or more to rinse away all the hydrogen peroxide. Repeat daily until you see desired results. After youâve achieved the whiteness you desire, move to a once a week maintenance routine.
