What is the effect of bleaching your teeth (like with PlusWhite) while you have gingivitis?
it can worsen gingivitis because teeth whitening chemicals cause gum inflammation even if you have no gum problems in the first place.
before you go for any "beauty" enhancement procedure, i would highly suggest basic dental care such as oral prophylaxis. for what is the point of whitening your teeth if you neglect their supporting structures. i know of people who regularly use whitening solutions and yet neglect their decayed teeth which need restoration. i really cannot comprehend this.

The only real negative of bleaching teeth is that your teeth might become sensitive to hot or cold or sweet foods/liquids. So stop using the whitening product if you get sensitivity to cold liquids later.
Gingivitis means that your gums bleed because you are not flossing so bacteria and food get trapped between teeth and below the gumline. So start flossing daily.
For whitening to work best you MUST brush and then floss before using the product.
