the burning sensation occurs because you have not placed your dam correctly you shouldnt need topical analgesia your technique is definately incorrect

Hi,
Doc, i take the answer for the post whitening sensitivity will try one of the methods and see what suits best.
Though a dam is placed the interdental gingiva is still at risk to the burning sensation.
As per the technique goes, there is nothing incorrect about it.
If you do follow a so called “correct” technique please do let me know i would appreciate your efforts.
Thank you,
…
