I had the procedure done this morning at 11am and I am in the worst pain I have ever been in. I read one comment from a patient who experienced pain for a year...is that possible? Thanks
Answer: Whitening Teeth get somewhat dehydrated from teeth whitening and become like little sponges that can absorb color. This is why it is recommended to avoid colored foods for at least 24 hours. I usually recommend 48 hours to be safe. This dehydration is the same reason teeth may be a bit sensitive. This sensitivity only lasts about 24 hours and can be helped with sensodyne toothpaste and over the counter anti-inflammatories. Follow us for more info.

Answer: Sensitivity After Zoom Whitening
It is very common for patients to develop post operative sensitivity for 8-10 hours following any laser whitening procedure. We typically give the patient 400-600mg of Advil prior to the procedure to keep the pain to a minimum. Not everyone has sensitivity , but a good portion of patients do. As far a your the person you read about being sensitive for a year, I doubt that this was from the whitening. I have never had a patient have sensitivity even for 48 hours, much less a year.

Answer: Pain after Zoom
Some patients will have pain after Zoom. It will last the first 24 hours and then will be back to normal. We have been giving patients pain medicine in the office before the treatment to make the experience so much nicer. This does not help you now!. Try to take some Alleve and call the Dentist office and ask for a something for pain. Try to keep air off of your teeth as this makes the teeth sensitive.

Answer: Mild to moderate sensitivity Usually a patient might experience mild to moderate sensitivity during or after the procedure.. It usually might last maximum for some days.. Clinically if everything is well and it's only sensitivity it can be managed by desensitizing agents..
