    I had the ZOOM whitening yesterday afternoon, and also experienced the discomfort during the second 15 minute session. My hygienist applied a flouride gel and we waited a few minutes. Then finished the sessions with minimal zinging pains. On a scale of 1-10, I'd describe as a 6. Last night I had quite a bit of pain in my front top and bottom teeth, but again applied a flourides solution in the trays provided by my dentist and the pain was alleviated. This morning the sensitivitiy is down to a minimum. My teeth look great. For years I was told that nothing could be done because I had Tetracycline staining....I considered laminates. But, after investigating the laminates, I opted for the much lesser invasive procedure. ZOOM worked for me, I did not have unrealistic expectations. My hygienist took much time prepping my lips and gums so that I wouldnt have any undue exposure to the UV light. My advice...Pick your dental professional well. Have realistic expectations, and take excedrin for the discomfort. And...once its over....SMILE!
