Will my teeth be back to normal in 8 weeks if i do this?

Question

my gums are kinda puffy and are inflamed, my teeth have also turned a tad yellow. if i brush my teeth with whitening toothpaste, and floss and mouthwash 2 times a day, will my teeth get white and my gums not inflamed again?

ps. i have not been brushing much lately and have braces

Answer 1

Likely yes, but if your gums are inflammed due to calculus aka tartar buildup the gums will still be irritated until your have your teeth professionally cleaned. If you haven't had a dental cleaning (with a dental hygienist) and a check (by a dentist) in the last 6 months, time for one.
