Does Hydrogen Peroxide 3% Help In Treating Gum Problems?

Just recently I have noticed that my tongue was bleeding...for no obvious reason...the only thing I have done differently in the past couple of weeks has been using 3% peroxide to rinse my month after brushing...too whiten my teeth and improve gum ???

Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your query bleeding from tongue can be most commonly due to traumatic injury to the tongue while can also be bleeding from gums if they are infection..
If you have sores on tongue, then it can be due to bleed from sores..

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation will help in diagnosis..
As far as peroxide rinse is concerned you should avoid using it without proper advise as it can cause teeth sensitivity..
As of now take soft diet and do warm saline gargles..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
