What are the side effects of teeth bleaching?

I am a 32 year old male. I want to know what are the side effects of teeth bleaching?

The most common side effect is hypersensitivity but on the positive it is usually very temporary once you discontinue the bleaching.
Side effects may include some transient sensitivity, which may be settled with desensitizing agents. Short-term gum irritations can occur with leakage of material onto the gums if patients place too much bleach in the home trays, or if bleach leaks around the isolation in office treatment.
Occasionally, there might be a slight sensitivity to cold for a short period of time. Otherwise, there are no side effects to the procedure.
