UnfoldingSky Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 Has anyone suffered problems after having their teeth whitened at the dentist? Can this trigger a recurrence of withdrawal issues, akathisia, etc?

I have had my teeth cleaned, I just wondered if the laser whitening involving bleaching gel is dangerous.
