“Does peroxide help with tooth tartar?”
I am a 24 year old female. I want to know if peroxide helps with tooth tartar?

No, but it neutralizes the acids produced by the bacteria in the tartar.
No, Peroxide does not help tooth tartar, and it does dry the mouth. Peroxide by itself can also cause certain problems. It is not recommended to use it, unless it is an ingredient in mouth rinse or teeth whitening solutions.
Yes, to some degree. Rather, suggest you brush with regular toothbrush more often. There are some toxic elements in it.
Yes, 3% hydrogen peroxide with water can remove plaque from the surface of teeth and can reverse the earliest sign of gum disease
In terms of removing tartar, or plaque, hydrogen peroxide would have a minimal effect; kind of like using mouthwash. Removing plaque requires mechanical debridement via tooth brushing, flossing, and regular dental cleanings. Hydrogen peroxide is a common home remedy for whitening teeth and removing some staining along with charcoal and baking soda. However, the American Dental association does not recommend these methods.
Peroxide does not help to prevent tooth tartar. It only helps to disinfect bacteria
