Any comments on the use of peroxide in toothpaste?

Does oral exposure to hydrogen peroxide produce an appreciable amount of free radicals in the body? Hydroxyl?

Thanks.

I think the amount in toothpaste is trivial, and the total exposure is minimal. Every tissue of your body is protected by enzymes that destroy peroxide and hydroxyl groups.
