I just received a whitening treatment today at my dentist and only my gum around my canine hurts. Its a sharp jolt of pain that randomly occurs, its not very red or swollen just the pain. The dentist said I had two sore spots and the canine is one of them but the other spot is pain free. Is this normal? And what can I do for the pain? Ibuprofen 600mg and Tylenol 500mg isnt working. Thank you!!
I often purchase professional whitening gels with peroxide & place it in a tray to whiten my teeth. Yesterday I did that & fell asleep, I somehow took the trays out mid-sleep & caused the teeth whitening to stay against my lips for hours. When I woke up I quickly washed my mouth, but 1 hr later my lips swelled up SO big! Its slowly going down today. Could this have any impact on my current lip fillers or my health? I noticed a few small white spots also develop in my mouth, but they went away.
i tried crest 3d whitening strips 1 hour express and it made my gums very red and swollen and sensitive where it touched the strips. its been 4 days now and no sign of getting better. They are so uncomfortable I can't eat. And I can barely brush and forget flossing. What should I do?
Have 16 crowns, 6 veneers; used Philips NiteWhite (22%) 1 time, 3 years ago (2014) (used several times previously w/ no prob,); trays removed next am, whitening leaked, swollen gums; 2.5 yrs, later, swelling never went down or changed to this day. My dentist used a laser to remove 100% bacteria, nothing; 2 periodontist visits and they couldn't figure it out. I have no pockets, my measurements are fine. Use waterpik, floss, electric toothbrush-- daily. Turned down for deep cleaning. Suggestions?
I used a Crest White Strip 5 days ago. I have been in the worst pain everyday since. I don't have sensitive teeth. I have used these strips probably 100 times. I haven't used them in 4-5 months, but I left the strip on for 20 minutes, even though it calls for 30, since I hadn't done it in a while. I don't understand why my gums are so terribly swollen and sore. Every time I brush my teeth, they bleed and today (the 5th day) even my teeth hurt. I don't know what to do at this point.
