do not do zoom whitening !!!!! - Austin, TX

about a year ago I had my full set of braces removed, and like most people who have had braces, my teeth were very, very, VERY yellow. I scheduled my appointment and was expecting sensitivity from the "zingers".....first off, i have a fairly high pain tolerance. I do not cry from physical pain that often, but god damn....this is worse than breaking bones. the equipment is uncomfortable but nothing that the normal person could not handle. I had four 15 minute bleaching cycles, and at the 2 cycle I started feeling those wonderful little zingers. oh did I say wonderful? I meant ABSOULUTLY EXCRUCIATING NERVE PAIN!! I told my hygienist about the sensitivity and she reccomended leaving the bleach off of the tooth that was bothering me. okay now 3rd session...it gets worse, but the pain comes and goes quickly. now it's the 4 session and I feel my teeth popping. it felt like someone was electrocuting my teeth! I jolted out of my chair and pushed the light away about 13 minutes into the last cycle. now, my teeth are FOR SURE whiter, but 3 hours after, I am now in excruciating pain. the zingers are WAY worse now! they're extremely Intense and after 800mg of naproxen sodium it's still not better!!!! DO NOT GET THE ZOOM! WHITENING TREATMENT UNLESS YOU WANT TO PAY $600 OUT OF POCKET FOR SEVERE PAIN!!!!!!!
