How long will my gums stay white after teeth whitening? ›

Soft tissue or gum irritation caused by teeth whitening gel is considered a chemical burn, very comparable to a sunburn. When a chemical burn occurs, the area becomes mildly sore, turns white, and will eventually flake off. The tissue will return to normalcy within twenty-four hours.

The most commonly observed clinical effects of treatments with tooth whiteners include mild tooth hypersensitivity to temperature changes and irritation of oral mucosa. Some patients have also reported burning palate, throat and gingiva.

Besides feeling a chemical burn, you may also notice inflammation or white spots on gums during the whitening process. However, if used correctly, the irritation is temporary and you shouldn't experience the pain of a hydrogen peroxide burn.

As the baking soda only removes stains from the surface level of the teeth and not the enamel it can be passable at removing light stains such as coffee and food, but you might not notice a big difference for four to six weeks.

How long does it take to work? Whitening toothpastes that contain blue covarine can have an immediate effect. When using a toothpaste that contains other whitening agents, it can take several weeks for you to notice a change. When used twice a day, it can take from two to six weeks for teeth to appear whiter.

Leave the trays in your mouth for 20-30 minutes when using 35% Carbamide Peroxide. You can increase the whitening time after a few sessions. In the case that you experience sensitivity, do not increase whitening time. Do not exceed a treatment time of more than 1 hour a day.

White gums can turn pink again in a matter of hours or days when it comes to dental treatments like whitening or tooth extraction. For medical conditions like an autoimmune condition or gum disease, however, it may take longer for your gums to return to their normal colour.

Answer: The bleaching gel can cause a burning sensation to the gum and, in some instances, cause the gum to blanch, giving it a white appearance. In most cases, it will go away within 2 to 7 days. Rubbing the gum with a lubricant such as Vaseline will help.

The outlook for white gums varies depending on the underlying cause, the health of the individual, and the treatments used. Canker sores, for example, often clear up within a few days. They may not require any treatment. Other conditions, such as oral lichen planus, require lifelong management.

Soft Tissue Irritation

Occasionally, your gums or tongue may become irritated from the whitening gel. This happens when too much gel is placed inside your custom whitening tray and it oozes out onto your gums, tongue, and down your throat.
