Occasionally but I would not recommend it daily.
Mix it with water. Half and half will work.
Yes, you can. But make sure it is 3% solution diluted further: 1 part h2o2 to 3 parts water. Swish, swirl, and spit; do not swallow.
Yes, you can. The hydrogen peroxide usually sold in grocery and drug stores is 3%. Research indicates that 1.5% is effective against coronavirus and can be beneficial in fighting the oral bacteria associated with periodontal disease. To get to 1.5%, just use equal parts of hydrogen peroxide and water. You don't need much: about 2 tablespoons of each is plenty. Do not mix it until you are ready to use it. Or, use Colgate Peroxyl. Swish for a full 30 seconds then spit out. Do not swallow it. Once a day is usually enough, and bedtime is a good time. Excessive use raises concerns about a carcinogenic [cancer causing] effect. The best treatment is still the one dentists and dental hygienists have recommended for years: brush and floss daily to decrease the number of bacteria in the mouth.
Yes. BUT make sure you dilute the 3% solution further by 1:4 with water. Swish, swirl, and spit; do not swallow.
Dentists have been advised by the CDC that a 1.5% peroxide rinse for 60 seconds will kill 95-98% of the viruses in your mouth. !.5% strength is made by mixing store bought 3% peroxide with equal parts water.
You can are usually recommend diluting it with one part water and one part hydrogen Peroxide

Yes, you can rinse with hydrogen peroxide, but do not exceed beyond the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Yes, as long as it is diluted to 1%. Higher concentrations may injure mouth tissues.

Hydrogen peroxide kills germs. The problem is that it kills good and bad germs. If you rinse with hydrogen peroxide on a regular basis, you can get fungal infections are in your mouth. It is okay to use it occasionally at one and a half percent for 30 seconds.
Don’t rinse with pour hydrogen peroxide. Mix it at least by half with water or mouthwash.
