Hi,
You better stop using hydrogen peroxide. This burns the tissues and results in chemical burn.
The hydrogen peroxide rinse is given in severe gum infections. You get your teeth cleaned and maintain the oral hygiene thereafter.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
