When I first had my treatment all of my gums where white and puss like you are talking about. This picture was taken 2 days after treatment. Only the actual burns where left. I called my dentist and sent him the pictures. He called me back and didn't seem to think it was a problem. Told me to use salt water solution and the floride toothpaste. Guess I need to find another dentist if he thinks this was OK. He stated that a lot of people get burned from this. Guess they don't care enough about their customers to learn to do the treatment right.
It was horrible pain from beginning to end. I do have a high torrance, that is why I continued with treatment, but I had no idea it was causing that amount of damage. I just thought I was being a baby about it - until the assistant gave me a mirror! I am having front crowns replaced and needed my teeth bleached before replacement. It took over 2 weeks before I could eat solid foods and drink without a straw. I still can't to brush the front gums as they are very sensitive even after all this time. If the person providing treatment does not understand how to do it is dangerous. As stated before IF done right there is minimal damage. I don't know what they did wrong but my teeth are not any whiter and I have suffered all this pain. I would never do this again. Problem is you dont' know WHO knows how to do it until they mess you up. There should be a certification procedure for something that can harm you this bad. For anyone that is doing this procedure. Please care enough about the fellow human - your patient - to do this properly.
