I had excess gel (9.5% hyd per) in my tray and it burned my gum between my top 2 front teeth. When I first took the tray off the gum was white I quickly brushed it and think I may have irritated it and now it is dark/red. It has been 36 hrs since it happened. How long will it take to heal and will there be permanent damage? I recently finished Invisalign and wear a retainer full time in case that makes any difference. It is kind of hard to see in the photos and looks worse in real life. Thanks!
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 want to state that I am not a USA citizen. I went to a clinic to replace my 10 years old crowns in my 6 upfront teeth. I got mold on my temporary teeth to duplicate them but in my second visit I want to do some other final adjustment to their shap and length but my dentist rejected that and said he will make a list of my requests beside the previews mold and send them to the lab. I am really skeptical about the final shap since I had two previous bad experience.. what should I do now?
It took a long time to heal . The skin peeled for a while. It finally healed, but now has a rough area that is often dry and uncomfortable. It makes my inner mouth below my lip stick to my teeth. I rinse with salt water and it fells better for an hour or so.
I got my teeth whitened in-office today. It kind of burned while I was getting the treatment, and four hours later, my teeth are really sensitive. They hurt even when I'm not eating or putting any pressure on them. Part of the gums were white earlier, but that has gone away. It feels more like an ache than a burn, so I don't think it's a burn from the bleach, but I'm not sure why it hurts this badly.
Hi, I used a teeth whitening kit with veey strong gel and uv light. It has burnt a red circle around my lips that will not heal. It has been like 3 weeks. I have tried everything from vitamin E to chapstick & moisturizer to olive oil and aquaphor, nothing seems to heal it completely. I have a swollen red circle around my mouth with cracks in the corners. Please advise
