According to this study, http://jdr.sagepub.com/cgi/content/full/86/11/1040


They used 30% h2o2 and it showed organic and mineral demineralization of dentin. The dentin dissolves due to the reactivity, solubility, and acidity of H2O2. However, this is the 30% in the study, the 3% I've seen in stores is probably a really weak version. The H2O2 (Hydrogen-Peroxid) can rapidly hit the dentin through the enamel and cause tooth sensitivity.

In a Brazilian study, there appears to be some surface damage/roughness visible at 5000X.

The 3% H2O2 (Hydrogen-Peroxid) can be diluted in 1/2 H2O and become 1.5% H2O2. It is a good mouth wash and disinfectant however that may prevent inflammation and plaque. Probably better than most toothpastes anyway.
