How long does teeth whitening last?
The results of teeth whitening can last from several months to a few years, depending on your oral hygiene habits and lifestyle choices. Avoiding foods and drinks that stain, such as coffee, tea, and red wine, can help maintain the results longer.
Are there any side effects of teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is generally safe, but some people might experience temporary tooth sensitivity or mild gum irritation. These effects usually go away within a few days.
