Question:
I have GERD and burning mouth syndrome and wonder if I am still a candidate for bleaching my yellow teeth? ...June

Answer:
June, the bleaching process consists of superficial application of bleaching material to your teeth. I do not think that the conditions you've described would be a contraindication.

However it would be wise to figure out the origin of burning mouth syndrome and see if there is any clinical indications. Some of the bleaching agents are on the low PH side.
