Allergic Reaction After Using Opalescence Teeth Whitening Kit. Is This Serious ?
i have had lots of reactions to chemicals in last few years. i went to a dentist and he ordered opalescence a teeth whitening kit. i used it was less than a minute and notices a very high allergic reaction towards it. i think it has hydrogen peroxide . i am also allergic to novacane and carbacane at the dentist office. i never had these reactions before. i was exposed to sulphuric acid in the past. i am wondering if the exposure to that chemical has made me sensitive to almost all chemicals .the reaction is serious where i end up in the emergency room.

Hi,
If by allergic reaction you mean skin rashes, breathlessness-you need a oral or injectable antiallergic with an expert's care.
If the chemicals in opalescence whitner hasonly irritated the mucus membrane of mouthwhich is red & inflammed &sensitive-
-Please stop using it immediately.
- you can apply a soothing agent like Boroglycerine (or other brand suggested by the treating Dr.)Do maintain your oral hygine
- Avoid irritating/spicy food
- take anti histaminic pillalong with antibiotic/anti inflammatary tabs as adviced by consultant.
- hensforward be careful & inform any treating Dr. about your allergic tendency
. Pl. be careful to be carefree.
Thanks.

Hi, it is possible that some people who are not allergic before may become allergic now. Sulfuric acid may not have any effect, but some medicalconditions may bring the sensitive ness. So i advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
