A useful tip for tooth whitening

Jacqueline Fulop-Goodling, DMD answers: Will zoom 2 treatment be painful?

I plan to go on zoom 2 treatment and I was looking forward until I read some comments that stated the after effects are painful.

What can I honestly expect from this treatment? I have healthy and nice teeth, only naturally yellowish and don't want to make a big mistake.

ZOOM 2 is a great product. I have all my patients use fluoridex before and after their whitening sessions to help prevent and reduce sensitivity that can be a direct result of whitening. The sensitivity you may experience after any whitening is always temporary.

Fluroidex is a toothpaste that should be used in place of your regular toothpaste. I usually recommend to start 2 weeks before use until at least 2 weeks after your whitening treatment. Ask your dentist if they carry this product, if not I'm sure you can purchase it online. Good luck!
