I posted a question earlier, but I haven't noticed my gums start to bleed easily or hurt and be sensitive until I started using whitening strips and toothpastes etc. to try and whiten my teeth, now my gums bleed really easy when I brush and hurt pretty bad.. could this be because of the whitening stuff? or just because i have been wearing a retainer that has my teeth shifting to stay in place and then I go brush and the gums haven't had time to settle in..? any ideas on this?

Also, to be honest I have kind of overdone it on whitening using Whitening toothpaste, mouthwash, And strips all at the same time.. should I just use the strips for right now and a regular cavity fighting toothpaste and mouthwash?

So how long should it take using the listerine and a regular toothpaste for my gums to stop being inflamed and sensitive? =\ .. and is this what has happened? the whitening products have irritated my gums to the point they bled.. i'm hoping a regular toothpaste and mouthwash should clean this up?

OK . I don't know about the whiting strip ??? . (who make them , are the a well know company ?? . Do you buy them from a TV shop or in a supermarket . If you bought them in a supermarket and if the company is kn-owed well . The should not be the problem . Or even the toothpaste etc . I just think when you bush you teeth to much . You should only spend 2 mins ever time you bush you teeth . And it's important that you bush the gum softly and not to hard . This helps to make you gum strong .And if i were you i just use the toothpaste and if you want the mouth wash . But don't use the whitening strips because the mite just mix in with your soft gums . I hope this help . If you feel if you want to be sure about why your gums are bleeding you can also go to the dentist for a check up . And then ask your question . And then after a few weeks of washing with you normal tooth brush then you gums will me strong . And you can then use the whitening strips . For sure . All the best .

they really should not cause the gum recession, only sensitivity is possible. Maybe you allergic to something in the product?
