Can I whiten my teeth while having periodontal disease?


or would that be to rough for my gums?

Even when the gums are healthy, some bleaching systems can irritate the gums and cause sloughing of tissues. Besides that, if you have periodontal disease, the gums are likely swollen and teeth need cleaning. Bleaching would turn out uneven in color because the gum level will likely be lower once healthy and you can only bleach clean teeth.

Be patient and wait until you are free of disease, whether periodontal or dental problems to use any bleaching system. You will definitely get better results.
