# Dental sensitivity in the first 24 hours
One of the side effects of whitening teeth is sensitivity 24 hours after bleaching. If you tolerate excessive sensitivity, you can use analgesic tablets such as ibuprofen.
# White is not permanent.
Teeth always get yellow as part of the aging process. Also, the teeth are always dyed with food and drink. Dental bleaching in the office usually lasts from 6 months to 2 years, but depends on the difficulty of the teeth as well as your diet.
# One size is not suitable for everyone.
Bleach kits are intended to ensure that bleach is placed where it should be, and should not be placed on the gums, as the bleach gel causes free radical reactions and damage to the gum. Since everyone’s smile is different, we should not use kits of the same size to whiten the teeth.

The more you look after your teeth, the better you get. Brush regularly and prevent damage to the color of your teeth, then having treated teeth more whiter.
