# Peroxide Rinse Caution
> Peroxide rinses are popular online, but strength matters. Learn the cautions and the case for asking a dentist first.

## Guides
- [Strength and Dilution](https://hydrogen-peroxide-mouth-rinse.pages.dev/peroxide-strength-dilution/): Peroxide strength dilution is the part most people guess at, and guessing is the risk: bottles differ, labels differ and mouth tissue is sensitive.
- [Irritation Risks: A Practical Guide](https://hydrogen-peroxide-mouth-rinse.pages.dev/peroxide-and-mouth-irritation/): Peroxide and mouth irritation go together more often than people expect, because the lining of the mouth is delicate and a rinse touches all of it.
- [Whitening Claims: Tips and Cautions](https://hydrogen-peroxide-mouth-rinse.pages.dev/peroxide-whitening-claims/): Peroxide whitening claims are everywhere, but a rinse is in contact with your teeth only briefly and a label promise is not the same as proof.
- [Never Swallow It](https://hydrogen-peroxide-mouth-rinse.pages.dev/peroxide-not-for-swallowing/): A hydrogen peroxide mouth rinse is meant to be swished and spat out, and the rule of peroxide not for swallowing applies to every strength.
- [Gentler Alternatives Explained Simply](https://hydrogen-peroxide-mouth-rinse.pages.dev/alternatives-to-peroxide/): If you are looking for alternatives to peroxide, the gentlest starting points are warm salt water, a fluoride or alcohol-free rinse that matches your needs.
