Ive been looking at previous answers to this question but it seems that theres no clear consensus, so if you choose to answer could you please leave a source, thanks

1) if i have a 3% topical (specialized for cuts) bottle of hydrogen peroxide instead of 'regular' peroxide is there a big difference?

2) as long as i dilute the solution in a 1:5 peroxide to water ratio (or is there a better ratio?), will daily usage cause any long term enamel damage, and at what rate

3) for those who use hydrogen peroxide for whitening/mouth wash purposes, ive read some things about short term changes such as whitened gums/tongue etc, is this true and if so how long until it goes back to normal

4) my teeth are more of a beige color, so does that mean that i would see SOME results in the immediate short term or is this a long term deal (and how long roughly, months?)

5) i heard you can also use hydrogen peroxide to kill the germs on ur tooth brush, if it does, how should I go about doing this?

Thanks a lot for even just reading, and p.s. I did ask the pharmacist at the grocery store some of these questions and basically he had never heard of using hydrogen peroxide as a rinse but did say it was safe as long as i didnt swallow any.
