Potential Risks and Considerations of Teeth Whitening

Custom take-home whitening trays prescribed by a dentist can brighten the natural shade of teeth. As with all treatments, there are potential risks and limitations:

 

Tooth Sensitivity: Some people may experience temporary sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods during or after whitening.
Gum or Soft Tissue Irritation: Whitening gel that comes into contact with gums or lips may cause temporary irritation or whitening of these tissues.
Uneven Whitening: Existing fillings, crowns, or veneers will not change colour, which may result in shade differences.
Temporary Results: Whitening is not permanent. Results vary from person to person and may require future maintenance to sustain brightness.
Lifestyle Factors: Habits such as smoking, coffee, tea, or red wine consumption may reduce the longevity of whitening results.
Not Suitable for Everyone: Whitening is not recommended for some patients (e.g. those under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding, or with certain dental conditions).

 

Your dentist will assess your suitability for whitening treatment and explain the expected outcomes and risks for your individual situation.

Your Questions, Answered with Care

  • When whitening is prescribed and monitored by a dentist, take-home whitening can be a predictable and controlled way to brighten your smile. Your dentist will first check that your teeth and gums are healthy and that whitening is appropriate for you.


    The custom-fitted trays help ensure the whitening gel is applied evenly and stays on your teeth, minimising contact with your gums or soft tissues. Your dentist will provide clear instructions and follow-up care to support a comfortable experience.

  • Some people experience temporary tooth sensitivity or mild gum irritation during whitening. This response is usually short-lived and settles after treatment.

     

    If sensitivity occurs, your dentist may suggest adjusting how often you use the gel, shortening your wear time, or using a desensitising toothpaste. You’ll also receive guidance on how to manage any temporary sensitivity comfortably at home.

  • Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular professional cleanings will help you keep your smile looking its best. Try to limit foods and drinks that commonly stain teeth - such as coffee, tea, and red wine - and rinse or brush after consuming them when possible.


    Occasional touch-ups using your whitening trays and dentist-approved gel can help maintain your preferred shade. Your dentist will let you know when and how to safely refresh your results.

  • Whitening results vary from person to person and depend on diet, lifestyle, and oral hygiene habits. Many people enjoy their brighter smile for several months or longer, with maintenance as needed.


    Because natural teeth can gradually pick up new stains over time, your dentist may recommend periodic reviews to help you maintain your preferred shade safely and effectively.
