Could someone please tell me what it means if I just rinsed with Glyoxide for the first time after recent dental work, and it burned like crazy around the gums of a few teeth that are still quite sensitive/bothering me. My dentist is closed this week for spring break. help.............

Just curious but could it be because my tooth is infected? It has been bothering me sometimes throbbing & aching since it was filled and restored on Janaury 24th with a composite filling.

Call the pharmacist and ask them. I've gotten more help from pharmacists than I've ever gotten from doctors and you don't have to sit on hold for 15 minutes either!

Glyoxide doesn't usually burn, so I'm guessing your gums are still irritated by the dental work; and the Glyoxide got on the irritated area.
I'm not advising this (because I have no business advising anything), but rinsing with salt and warm water can help heal mouth soreness. Of course, if there is serious enough irritation on the gums this would also burn.

The hydrogen peroxide in this is irritating to inflamed tissues. Sounds like you have some gum problems.(inflamed tissues) The good thing is that it helps to kill bacteria.
