My Gums Are Sensitive, and I Can See White Spots on my Gums After Using 3D White Intensive Professional Effects?

The white spots are areas where the bleach leaked through the trays and burned the tissues. Always make sure to wipe the excess bleach from the gums after inserting the trays. Your gums should heal in 3-4 days. Good luck.

It is not permanent or damaging to bleach the gums, but it is a sign that the trays do not fit properly.  It is more comfortable and much more effective to have custom trays made.

Thank you for your question. Yes, do take a brake and let the gums heal. It is an effect of spilled whitening solution on the gums. It should heal up within several days. Do the best you can to stay away from the gums to prevent burning.

Yes take a break until all of the white spot are gone. They are a result of the bleach spilling over from the trays onto the soft tissue. Either you need to have better fitting trays or put less bleach in them so it does not spill over. The white spots are burns from the excess bleach.

Usually the white spots means that the gum have been burned, that a break to make sure the spots clear up usually that should happen in 3-5 days. Then check to make sure the bleaching agent doesn't not touch your gums or soft tissue good luck
