Need Help! I have swollen gums, when will they return to normal!?

I think my gums were super sensitive to the bleaching gel my doctor gave me. He also never showed me how much gel to use, so in the first application, I used way too much gel and my gums were burning. Since then, I used the gel two more nights with much less gel.





I never had swollen gums until three days later! My two front teeth look abnormally small because my gums are so swollen! I have been putting ice on my gums and have been gargling salt water but nothing seems to make it go down! They have been swollen for two full days now. I have a speech to give in one of my classes on Tuesday and I don't want to look like I have no front teeth!





Does anybody know how long my teeth will be swollen (I haven't used the bleach in 3 days)? Also, what can help it go down? I took benadryl also but nothing seems to work! Please help!!

You may have an allergy to the bleaching gel. I would have called the dentist right away. Call the dentist now and see what he says.
