How long does the gum irritation and sore last? I am dying from the pain and I have healthy teeth &amp; gums.

Agh- I am so sorry! It is painful and hard to eat for about 3 days. It will start to heal, and the dead gum tissue will fall off (it's gross). It will start feeling better by day 3 and progressively heal. Needless to say I never tried this whitening brand again. Take some pain relief or gum numbing cream they sell for teething babies if you can stand putting it on.

Hi, my name is David. I've had mine for a while now and love it. They do say not to use it for longer than 15mins but after That "New Electric Motor" smell goes away, which is when it's broken in, you can use it for a longer period of time. I use mine for anywhere between 20-30mins at a time but I don't push it past that. Your muscle tissue will hurt the next couple of days if you use it too long. Drink plenty of water to flush your system out really good for 2-3 days after each use. I'm sure you know these tips.lol...Less pain is a good thing.lol...

You should use it for seven days straight. If your gums get irritated back off. My gums never bothered me. I then use the product when I think I need to. You will see a difference.

I used it daily and it's been fine. When I encountered irritation I stopped for a few days til it got better, then resumed. I'm thinking it would be okay, it says so in the package as well :)

I did petroleum jelly and it helped some. The last two doses slightly bleached my gums for about 2 hours so don't do it right before you go somewhere. Despite the discomfort it was all worth it in the end. My teeth came out super white!

It's mainly for tooth and gum irritations(sore gums)!But Nature's Answer have a terrific line of products for teeth and gums,and I'm sure they have products for gum and teeth sensitivity.Good luck in finding the product that is right for you.

This comes recommended by my dentist as I am unable to use harsh rinses. I had sore, red, bleeding gums when I started with this product. The redness, soreness, and bleeding are gone, and my teeth and gums are now healthy. I have a dry, sensitive mouth.

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.....

No, do not brush it on....from the syringe, press out a very, very small dot on the end of your index finger and massage into sore areas of gum and/or teeth. It works instantly to relieve discomfort. Start with less than you think you need untill you get the hang of it. It is great stuff and you'll be glad you have it. It slips around on your finger and gum, but persist using a very small amount at a time, so you don't waste it. I love it!

For me it takes around 2 to 3 months to finish it and gum stays in perfect conditions.... I have not a bad experience with it. I love this size because you save a lot.

I did not experience any soreness, did you adjust it to fit as snugly as possible? Mine fits on the teeth but not low enough to reach my bottom gums. I am continually surprised it's still in my mouth in the morning.

if your gums are rubbed any at all it will burn for a few minutes then stops. Great product. Can't believe they stopped making it. :(

They say you should not swallow any of it. I don't know how anyone could leave this stuff in their mouth overnight without swallowing. I only leave in for about 15 mins at which point my gums become irritated. That seems to be enough time.

I use a brand of bleach called opalence (I think thats how you spell it) I leave it on for an hour and then brush lightly so I dont irritate my gums or anything. The brand that came with the impressions I havent use it yet but im sure its the same......same strength. I suggest puttin vaseline on ur gums before hand. If you think about it, if you go to the dentist for impressions they cost way way more than this that comes with the bleach and the impressions. You have a good deal with this. I hope I answered your concerns :)

Sensitivity may occur and this is what this is for..if you experience a burning sensation or irritation from using the whitening solution, brush your teeth, and simply apply a small amount to your teeth traus and wear them for 30 min.. remove and rinse trays and your mouth with cold water. I've only had to do this once and only on lower gums, so I did not use the gel for the top. You can use this twice per day until symptoms are relieved. Do not use the whitening gel while treating your sensitivity.

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

I used a colgate sensitive toothpaste a couple days before I got this one, then almost overnight it was gone. I might have used Squigle 2 days. It sure didn't feel like it would do anything. But I am still using it just in case, sometimes I feel a little sensitive thing maybe starting once in a while, but then I brush my teeth and it's fine. Just unbelievable to me, cause I don't like doctors/dentist and probably wouldn't go. So I kept reading online what other people have done for home remedies. Xylitol seems to be the key, I also bought the mouthwash Crest for sensitive teeth and use it after the toothpaste once a day (sometimes I forget too). It had the xylitol in it too. Good luck! I hope this helps. I did see a similar toothpaste on Swanson Vitamins for half the cost of Squigle, so I was thinking of trying that one next. But I definitely recommend this SQUIGLE!!!
