Can Teeth Bleaching Cause Gum Loss?

Q: Can in office teeth bleaching cause guns to burn off requiring a gum graft?  I lost gum on white, burned area above my tooth caused by the bleaching.

A: Yes, I’m afraid bleaching can have this effect. Needless to say, we don’t practice it in our office, but we can perform gum grafts if needed.
