I had the ZOOM teeth whitening procedure done and I am convinced that I am going to need a gum graft after it heals. I was well protected during the procedure, however, my front gums are white and sore. Is this normal? Can ZOOM teeth whitening damage gums?

Answer: White Spots on Gums after Zoom During the zoom procedure, care is taken to isolate the soft tissues of the mouth, including the gums around the teeth, from the whitening gel. However, if saliva happens to seep under the isolation/barrier, it is possible for some of the whitening gel to come in contact with the gums, and turn them white for a short period of time. These white spots on the gums are not permanent, and typically last only 24-48 hours. Using Vitamin E can also help to treat the gums if this happens. Hope this helps!

Answer: Zoom Teeth Whitening - Very Safe and Predictable We have been using Zoom Teeth Whitening at our clinics in India for years now and am extremely happy with the results its been giving my patients. During the procedure we isolate your gums and other tissues exposing only the teeth to be whitened, however due to varying salivary flow in patients the material can sometimes seep through the barriers and contact the gums. This leads to the white, sore gums you mentioned. This is not permanent and usually heals within 24 to 48 hours after the procedure. Applying some vitamin E gel helps in fastening the healing process.
