The agent in the strip is irritating the tissues and you should be thorough but kind when brushing these areas until they heal up. You might even wait 24 hours between using the strips. Unfortunately a toothpaste won't help this (sensitive toothpastes or fluorides will only help sensitive teeth) but the oral tissues heal quickly so it should pass. Hope that helps!

You can not get the bleach on you gum because it's burning your gum that's why it's turning white. I move it down so it doesn't touch my gums, because after you have a spots like that and you continue to bleach you are just going to keep them inflamed. I have been using them also.

I've been in dentistry for over 25 years. The very best way is topical fluoride that your dentist can prescribe for you. If you do not want to do that, then take a fluoride toothpaste and with your finger put it on the site that hurts. Wait 10 minutes or more. Spit out. Use Act rinse before and after and this will help as well. The sensitivity is short lived so don't panic. It is common. If you have any other questions, please ask. Marie Hi!
