Zoom Whitening: Stories

I saw a recent photo and my teeth were looking pretty yellow. I drink several cups of coffee a day and the yellowing was probably a result of aging and the coffee.

After reading the reviews, I was pretty anxious about it as my teeth were sensitive to the whitening trays provided by a different dentist. I have been back now from the dentist after treatment for only about an hour.

I was instructed to take ibuprofen prior to coming in as well as to bring an iPod. I don't know whether they helped to offset the discomfort by keeping my mind off of what was going on, but I really didn't feel much of anything other than mild pressure at times. I did get a bit of pain in two of my lower teeth during the fourth fifteen minute session, but nothing that lasted more than several sessions. I have had a couple of very mild what I guess might be considered "zingers" since then.

My results were only three shades lighter, which I had hoped would have been better, but we'll see whether the whitening gel that I also received will help improve. I'd also be interested to see whether anyone notices the change. Time will tell.
