However, it is possible for new pigmentation to develop over time, although this is less likely with proper oral hygiene and a healthy lifestyle.

Like any medical procedure, laser gum bleaching can have side effects. Some of the most common side effects include:

  • Mild Discomfort: The gums may be tender and swollen for several days after the procedure, and pain relievers can be used to manage the discomfort.
  • Bleeding: It is normal for the gums to bleed for a short period of time after the procedure.

Recurrence of discolouration: The results of gum bleaching may not be permanent and the discolouration may return over time.
