Huh. I've used full strength 3% h2o2 as a mouth rinse and never noticed any burn. Almost 40 years ago my brother's dentist told him the best thing in the world was to brush with baking soda and salt, and rinse with h2o2.
A few years ago I was at a health expo and there was a dental company there doing those teeth whitening demos at a huge discount, so I tried it. Where they put a special paste in a custom fitted dental tray, turn lights on, and then in x amount of time you rinse and--you have whiter teeth. It really did work. I was impressed. Anyway, she told me the best way to make teeth white, or keep them white, was to rinse daily with 3% h2o2. Never mentioned burn at all, nor even said to be careful. Of course, each person is different, and perhaps you are just more sensitive than others.
