Hydrogen Peroxide: Additionally, the use of hydrogen peroxide daily changes the ph of the mouth and can throw the balance off between the normal oral flora.

Can you ise hydrogen peroxide to whiten teeth or will it harm teeth or gums?
I decided to try and clean my teeth by letting 3% Hydrogen peroxide sit in my mouth for a long time (a little over half an hour) and now my taste buds are mostly gone. Is it permanent?
It's possible that 1% hydrogen peroxide kill taste buds or cause a yeast infection in the mouth?
Used hydrogen peroxide mouthwash a few times yesterday and today have extremely dry tongue, loss of taste and producing very little saliva. Can the mouthwash cause permanent damage?
