Why does hydrogen peroxide burn after a while?

When using my Hydrogen Peroxide teeth whitener, my gums begin to burn in a couple of spots. After I'm done, the areas are stained white. Why is this happening and what should I do about it?

  • Answer:

    STOP using the peroxide. You are sensitive too it, you are "burning" holes in your gums. Pain means something is WRONG and means you need to stop doing what ever it is that causes the pain. The white spots are dead (dying) surface tissue. Ew is right.
