What Should I Do To Treat Burning Sensation In Mouth ?
I whitened my teeth overnight last night. Some of the bleach came out of the trays and was on my gums and tongue for a good 8 hours at least. The burning on my tongue has subsided, but there is now an extremely painful burning sensation along my lower gums. Also, the area that is burning has turned from the regular pink gum color to a white color. Did the bleach burn my gums? Also, what can I do to treat it ?

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic!
The leaking of bleach from tray has caused chemical injury to your gum tissues. I suggest that you apply Vit-E gel, that is available OTC on the affected parts twice or thrice daily. Also avoid hot and spicy food for a few days.
There's nothing to worry your blanched tissue will return back to pink color soon. Take a healthy and nutritious diet.
Thanks
