I accidentally got tooth whitening bleach on my gums and now they’re white. What should I do?

I got tooth whitening stuff from my dentist. I put the moulds on and after 5 minutes it hurt quite a bit. i looked in the mirror and saw that my gums were white. I quickly took the moulds off and wiped off the bleach so that there was none left on my gums but they are still white. What should I do?

Nothing. It’s the peroxide and it will go away. The same thing would have happened if you had brushed your teeth with liquid peroxide. Give it 20 minutes or so, rinsing your mouth with plain water may speed the process.

Act like you intended to do this to make a statement. Go around smiling a lot.

Rub some red food coloring on your gums 5 times per day for 6 months.

Nothing you can do. Rinse your mouth with water thoroughly, and just leave it be. It will turn normal by itself.
