Can peroxide damage tooth enamal?

No, but ..: Hydrogen peroxide that is specially formulated for 'teeth bleaching' will not damage teeth, but may leave them temporarily sensitive...Just do no try to rinse your mouth with regular over-the-counter hydrogen peroxide!

No: Peroxide in high concentrations and improperly used can cause ulcerations and desquamative gum tissue.
