My Dentist Uses the Zoom Whitening Kit but Doesnt Use the Zoom Lamp, Instead He Uses LED with No UV?

I cannot think in any other reason not to use an original Zoom Lamp than not really using Zoom. Every Zoom procedure comes with a Chip that activates the lamp for the use of that kit. It you don't use real Zoom the lamp will not work, so it is probable that if the dentist is not using the lamp, he is not really using Zoom and just saying he is. I work for Zoom so if you have any question, I would be more than happy to answer. Check our facebook page www.facebook.com/philipszoom for some real stories or www.zoomwhitening.com for more info.
