If you put bleach mixed with water on your front teeth and now are having a lot of facial pressure could this be related or just a coincidence of having a sinus problem?

Answer 1

It COULD be related. Not a certainty.

When you say "bleach" are you referring to chlorine bleach? Chlorine (as in laundry bleach) is an extreme irritant and can be toxic. You don't want to put that on your teeth.

Tooth whitening formulas use various forms of peroxide, which oxygenates safely in low concentrations. In higher concentrations it, like chlorine bleach, will burn mucosal tissue. Are you referring to peroxide?

If some of a chlorine-water mix (strong enough to bleach teeth) got drawn up into a sinus, it would cause significant irritation and swelling which could mimic or be a precursor to a sinus infection.

Peroxide also would irritate sinus tissue, but at the strength used in most tooth-whitening products, mixed with water, would be much less caustic.

The sinuses drain at the top of the throat at the back of the mouth. It is possible to suction liquid in the mouth up into the sinuses with the right (wrong) kind of pressure (swallowing/sneezing) at the just the right time.

Did that happen? You would probably know it and feel it instantly.

Hope that helps, kwc

it would be a good

idea not to do that you could possible die
