From reader ‘Boredom.In.The.Dorm’:


I got my braces off recently, *thank god* and i used this tooth whitening gel the orthodontist gave me.
I brushed my teeth before and my gums got a little bloody. I decided to use teh stuff anyway and did. It burned my gums and when i took it out my gums are all red, swollen and sensitive…
Could this be an infection? or is it just the tooth whitening agrivated my gums? I used Opalescence PF.
Oh and thanks to anyone who has helped! :]
