The chemotherapy treatments ended in feb. 2010. My teeth are now yellowish and more sensitive than before. Will the zoom treatment help, I am concerned that any whitening treatment will make my teeth more sensitive. Please advise. I do not do well with pain anymore. Thank you.

Zoom should work for Chemo stains..

I believe that the Zoom will work for the stained teeth in your case. Just use a tray for one week before to desensitize the teeth first and a tray after and you should be fine..discus this with your Zoom provider in advance..flouride treatments to follow to re harden the enamel also...

You are in luck. Your issue with yellow teeth from Chemotherapy can easily be treated with many methods of tooth whitening. The sensitivity issue should and can be managed prior to the whitening with strong desensitizing toothpastes and Fluoride Gel tray treatments. You should also have your teeth carefully examined for other damage from the Chemotherapy to the teeth and soft tissues.
