How to stop the Gel from burning your gums?

I frankly didn't experience burning. I also did not get results from this product. I got better results from Crest Whitening strips.

It happens the first few times I use it after being off of it. Use smaller amounts, try just putting it on teeth while in shower for 5 minutes. Don't brush your teeth vigorously before using.I found the product I ordered online very runny compared to what I had purchased in store.

There is a video on you tube, you basically stick it to your tooth òr gum where it feels natural. Yes it sticks once it's in place. But I use it during the day while talking and it comes lose our dissolves within the hour.

They give you green trays with a thin plastic-wrap lining filed with this hydrogen peroxide based goo. There are two sizes - small for your lower teeth and larger for your upper teeth. You put the trays on your teeth and suck in slightly. The liners (with the product) will stay on your teeth and you remove the green tray. Leave the liners and the product on your teeth for about 20 or 30 minutes. If your gums get too sensitive, take a break or alternate lower and upper. Don't swallow. I like this product and so does my partner.

I have used this product from the dentist and ordered it online as well. It has been the same consistency for me. It should be a formed gel not liquid. I put mine in the teeth holder then press the flexible holder against my teeth to spread the gel onto the entire outside of teeth.

0.4% Stannous Fluoride. Says brush teeth thoroughly with gel , THEN leave gel on teeth for 1 minute, then spit it out: then don't rinse, or eat drink or swallow for 30 minutes. Says use once a day for cavity protection, twice a day for sensitivity relief. Can't say its working other than to say teeth have not fallen out (laugh) won't know really about cavity protection qualities for years.. It does say the : Purpose of the product is for Anti-Cavity/Sensitivity Relief. Hope this helps.

Not for long! The gel will harden and that will be the end. Use water or fluids that flow like water. I also fllush the pump of liquid if it's going to go unused longer than several day (travel, etc.). You've most likely seen how toothpaste hardens when left outside its tube; it's a gel too.

I've tried sensodine, didn't help with the pain, the gel cam was recommended by my dentist, use to be a prescription, not now and it really works on the pain, also a tube of this lasts a long time!!

Again, do not brush it on and I do not use mouthguards for the remineralization get. Just put a little on the sore areas (see below) then let it sit for a minute or two as it dissolves in saliva then either swallow or spit....I spit it out, of course, and it is not at all unpleasant--very minty like toothpaste. If you want to let it stay 10 minutes, for example, apply and try not to swallow! Only a few seconds are needed for relief of pain so just spit it out after a minute or two. Reapply later if needed--but I have never needed to.....

It was a gift for a friend's son and I told them to do what I do with my thermos. Go to the store and purchase some inexpensive denture cleaning tablets. Throw a couple in the bottle over night filled with water, then wash with warm water and soap the next day. You could also use a drop of bleach in water. I keep a baby bottle/glass brush on hand if I have something like juice which is sticky and I want to be a bit more thorough. If you feel there is an after taste issue, you can also soak over night once a week with a teaspoon of baking soda in it. Several options for you, I hope that help.

Did not say anything in the instructions, but I would imagine you can use dilute mouthwash or hydrogen peroxide.

I just checked the packages and there is no date, but there isn't on the ones I get from my dentist either. I've used this order with my husband and it works perfectly! I suggest using the lower % if you are just starting and don't use too much. The peroxide bubbles and if the 35% gets onto the gums it will BURN! A fine line in the bottom of your guard is perfect. My husband and I use one tube between us when we whiten. IMPORTANT: keep the syringes refrigerated!

Ok so I assume you already went to the dentist and got the plastic retainers that you can actually put the whitening on. FYI you can just squirt the whitening gel on your teeth. You need to put the gel on the retainers and then wear that. Kinda like a mouth guard, over night. Or for 2 hours. So anyways on the syringe it should display how much for day 1, day 2, etc. that's the amount you can use per day. I place an even line of the gel on the inner part of my retainers to where my teeth are facing out. And then out the retainers on. With the 22% you should be feeling pain after 1 hour and a Half to 2 hours into it. That's usually a good indication to take them off. Rinse your mouth with water to make sure you get all of it out and then brush your teeth. You should be good after that. You may or may not feel extreme pain. I advise to take 1 day breaks in between. Good luck ! :)

Sparingly applied to a custom fitting, upper and lower, about two days. Non-custom fittings use up more gel, so I got the custom ones. Depending on gum sensitivity, user might be more comfortable with lower-strength gel, at least to start. Find product-specific YouTube clip and view making and use of trays. After watching YT clip, I carefully trimmed my fittings with cuticle scissors to keep them just above tooth contour, and wiped any excess from gums.

I would not recommend it, the chemicals used in the toothpaste could damage the plastic. Any way you would have to dilute the gel.

Shouldn't be more than 2 hours; irritation of the gums. Also, use minimal amount. Do not over fill the trays.

If this is your first time using this strength, be careful if you have sensitive gums. If you do, it is recommended to smear some Vaseline over your gum lines, being careful to not get any on your teeth. With the 20% strength, it is recommended to leave the molds on for 4-6 hours, or overnight if you think your gums can handle that. They claim to be formulated so to not sensitize your gums but I do notice some tingling when I leave them on overnight. Hopefully you have dentist made or actual molds that fit close to perfect. Inject a BB sized drop in each area of the mold that would fit over your REAL TEETH, not over crowns as they won't bleach out. I usually drag the syringe from each tooth area and when I come to the crowned areas I just drag a little bit in those areas. I have all my wisdom teeth and end up using about a half of a syringe for both top and bottom molds. Also, do not use if you have inflamed gums. Use a mouthwash regularly until your gums are healthy prior to application. You can bleach once a day depending on how well you tolerate the gel. I usually bleach for three days in a one week period. Also, avoid coffee, wine and berries while you are bleaching. For some of us, coffee is a must, so use a whitening mouthwash and/or toothpaste after eating or drinking any of these culprits. Do not "over brush" your teeth and if you notice inflammation or sensitivity, STOP using until your gums feel and look healthy. Hope this helps and happy smiling. Oh, store the gels in your refrigerator for longer life and let them come to room temp before applying.

I leave it a couple of hours. Don't get it on your gums, though. It can make gums sore.
