I got a teeth whitening kit from my dentist. I wanted to do things the right way and not get a cheap kit or something that would not work. I can tell that my teeth are getting whiter, but the kit is really hurting my teeth and making them feel like they are being shocked or zinged. Also my gums are burning and turning white. What is this stuff? What should I do now? thank you. \u2013 Renae W.<\/p>\n<p>Renae &#8211; It is not unusual to experience some sensitivity during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/teeth-whitening\/\">teeth bleaching<\/a>, but what you describe is more intense than usual.<\/p>\n<p>Stop using the teeth whitening kit, and contact your dentist and explain what you are experiencing. You may need a whitening gel that is not as strong. It is possible that the bleaching trays need to be adjusted so that the gel isn\u2019t affecting your gums so much.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, be certain that you are closely following the instructions on how much bleaching gel to use in each tray and how long you are wearing the trays.<\/p>\n<p>Contact your dentist for additional assistance.<\/p>\n<p>This post is sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/\">Lowell dentist<\/a> Dr. Michael Szarek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi.
