3% hydrogen peroxide is the same concentration used in supervised dental whitening protocols. Hydrogen peroxide at 3% whitens teeth by oxidizing the chromogenic compounds responsible for tooth staining. Food-grade 3% hydrogen peroxide kills anaerobic pathogens responsible for gum disease and bad breath by releasing nascent oxygen on contact. 35% food-grade hydrogen peroxide is caustic and dangerous for direct oral use; only 3% concentration should be used in toothpaste.
