There are a few risks you should be aware of before you decide to whiten your teeth. Most of these are minor, but you need to be aware of them, anyway.
1. Sensitivity – Many types of whitening can cause your teeth to become sensitive to pressure, touch, and temperature for a while after the procedure, especially at higher concentrations. If you have cracks or chips in your teeth, this is much more likely. It usually lasts only a day or two, but may occasionally last longer.
2. Gum Irritation – More than 50% of people who use peroxide to whiten their teeth experience some gum irritation for a few days after the procedure.
3. Oddly Colored Teeth – If you have some types of restorations like bonding, crowns, or veneers, you may end up with teeth that are spotty. These restorations can’t be bleached, so they may end up darker or lighter than your teeth.
