White mark on gums??
Question: I was bleaching my teeth when my gums in between two teeth started burning..took the bleaching trays out..and there is a birght, white spot on my gums?
could that be from bleaching? or something else?
Answers: It's some kind of irritation or you bleached your gum, I'm sure it will just go away. It probably happens to others as well.
if you had no problems before whitening don't worry. Sometimes when whitening gel gets on your gums it might bleach them out, it will not stay there for long. It should go away in a day. Next time when you whiten make sure that you wipe off the excess of the gel after you put trays in.
Good luck.
May be an ulcer... They can come for any reason, but are usually related to periods of stress or when you're run down. If you're sick, then this is a common occurrence. Ulcers will usually run their course and subside within 7-10 days. If it persists beyond that, you will need to see your dentist.
But it may be due to several reasons:
- Hyperkeratinization - meaning extra keratin layer released by most superficial cell layers of oral mucosa (can be seen more often in smokers)
- Extra bone thickness and soft tissue being thinner in these areas.
- Soft tissue rich in fat.
- Lesions forming due to fungal infections
