My bleaching trays my dentist gave me are burning my gums and making them white and bleed.. why does this happen?

Change bleaching gel: Your bleaching gel concentration of carbamyl or hydrogen peroxide may be too strong. Bleaching gel came in several concentration. Step down or adjusting the concentration to prevent tissue burn (white), gum injury and bleeding, and tooth sensivity. If it is till occur, changing the brand of bleaching gel (opalescense recommended).
