If you do it in a professional setting, there are no risks. Only some temporary sensitivity
sometimes there is sensitivity and disappointment on the whitening you may expect. But you will come up in color, it is a matter of how much
No matter what treatment you use, there's a chance your gums will be sensitive to the chemicals used in teeth whitening, particularly if you already have sensitive teeth. There's also a chance of burns to gums and some of the whitening kits used at home can harm tooth enamel.
