I treated myself to a good, at-home tooth-whitening kit. However, once I put the trays in, I felt the very tips of my gums start to tingle, then burn, and then it felt like acid was bubbling away at them. I tore the trays out, and ran to the bathroom to rinse out my mouth, and now the edges of my gums are burned bright white. I put the trays in again and now it's fine, but what has this done to my gums? Will the whiteness go away? I can't go to work tomorrow with white stained gums... it looks like I've got food stuck all over them, or some sort of disease!!
