HELP! I bleached my gums!

in Wedding Woes
I started using Aquafresh white trays....and I waited a little long. I've been using 2- a day for 3 days. Today, I squished around the whitening stuff, and I felt my gums burning a bit but didn't pay any attention. I must have gotten quite a lot of the whitener on my gums because now I have painfully and horribly whitened my gums!
Help!
Any advice?
Will this go away before tomorrow????? My Bridal Portraits are going to be ruined!!

    are your gums going to be visible in your portraits?  Many people's are not.

    Honestly, even with my biggest smile, you can't really see my gums.  How much of your gums are visible when you smile?  Can you try a smaller smile, maybe not so much teeth?

    I don't know how to fix this but I would suggest you get in touch with your dentist right away.

    I think it's probably temporary.  Hopefully it'll be gone by tomorrow.

    You might go to a dentist just to make sure you've not done permanent damage. Don't worry about the pictures, you'll be fine.

    It is temporary and should be gone by tomorrow. I am a dental hygienist and its pretty common. IF it is not gone within a few days and/or the pain heightens i would call your dentist but like I said its common and usually goes away quickly.

    I'd be more worried about my <em>bleached gums</em>, than bridal portraits. Just sayin'.

    That sounds painful.
