No: Any tooth whitening product can irritate the gum tissues. Make sure you are practicing meticulous oral hygiene with flossing and brushing. If it persists, you should see your dentist.

No: Your gums should not bleed when you use crest whitestrips. This may indicate you have gingivitis, and are not brushing properly. Proper brushing will restore your gums to a healthy condition and the bleeding should stop. If not, you may be sensitive to the whitening chemical in the whitestrip. See your dentist to get this evaluated.
