SIDE EFFECTS

The two main side effects of tooth bleaching are increased tooth sensitivity and pain in your gums. Your gums will only be affected when using a tray application. The tray rubbing against your gums can cause irritation. All bleaching methods can cause tooth sensitivity. There are different things you can do to deal with this. You can use a lower concentration of bleach or you can decrease the frequency of use. There are also many toothpastes that target sensitive teeth.

HOW LONG DO RESULTS LAST?

The length of time that results will last can vary depending on your teeth and on the method chosen. Generally, effects will last around 6-9 months at which point you can have a touch-up appointment with your dentist, or begin using over-the-counter products again.
