There are two kinds of stains Intrinsic and the extrinsic ones.Tetracyclin stains are the intrinsic kind ,They are embedded deep in the tooth enamel.The whitening gels are impervious to the intrinsic stains ,so the bleaching can not help to get rid of the stains caused by the tetracyclin
Tetracycline stains are embedded within the enamel of the tooth. These are called intrinsic stains. Zoom whiting and bleaching trays work only on extrinsic stains in the outer surfaces of the enamel. Whitening solutions cannot penetrate deep enough to rid the tooth of the stains caused by tetracycline.
Currently, there is only one whitening system on the market that has shown promise with respect to whitening teeth that have tetracycline stain. We use the KOR deep bleaching system in our practice and the results are truly amazing! Visit the KOR website to find dentists in your area that carry the KOR deep bleaching system. Prior to using the KOR system, we saw very mediocre results with ZOOM and Opalescence, even when followed by an at-home whitening regimen. The KOR system requires 2 weeks to condition your teeth in preparation for an in-office 1 hour whitening "blast". Good luck!

Whitening will not remove the striping effect of tetracycline stains. An aggressive regime of Zoom followed by tray whitening may lighten the teeth significantly resulting in an overall whiter appearance.
It's extremely important for good results that teeth are clean and tartar free before any whitening procedure. The whitening gel cannot penetrate through plaque and calculus. So, you will get spotty results if teeth are not cleaned prior to the zoom whitening treatment...
You should refrigerate the whitening gel and take it out of the refrigerator about an hour before use. Keeping the gel in your refrigerator keeps the ingredients fresh longer.
Zoom Teeth Whitening is fairly painless but I have heard and read of many painful experiences which disheartens me and affects many dentists and offices that do uphold high quality and standards when conducting the procedure. First of all, patients should always be screened for and treat...
