Having purchased tooth whitening from my dentist for £250 I was given plastic trays to wear over night. These look like mouth guards. I was instructed to put a small blob of whitening gel from a syringe into the front of each tooth groove in the guard and then to leave them in over night. I've followed the instructions, however wearing the trays causes my mouth to fill with saliva and I'm worried that this is probably getting into the trays. Is this a normal problem? Will it effect the tooth whitening process? Can I swallow the saliva that builds up in my mouth whilst wearing the trays (I'm sure that I probably do automatically in my sleep!) The tooth whitening gel I was given is called "dental white beauty" and is 16% strength but the box was given to me by the dentist without any instructions in. Please help!

The saliva is there all the time and at the same level but you swallow it automatically an are not aware that you are doing it. You need to learn to swallow as normal with the trays in place and try not to be so aware of it. Give it a couple more nights and it all should slip into place and not bother you so much.
