Take great care of your gums and teeth by rinsing your mouth (don't swollow) with hydrogen peroxide. The name is so intimidating and right away the words "poison" goes through my mind but actually it has been used for many years and is safe.
Hydrogen peroxide (3%) helps with the following:
Cankor sores
Strengthens teeth
Fights bacteria in the mouth (bad breath)
Disinfects tooth brushes (soak them)
Whitens teeth naturally
Detergent for fruits and veggies
Disinfectant for cuts and small wounds

The first time I used hydrogen peroxide to rinse my mouth I kept it in for 1 minute (you may feel foaming that is the bacteria being killed) then I rinse with water and brushed my teeth. What I found right away was my teeth felt like they just have been cleaned from the dentist. I will be using this daily to see more results!
