Zoom Teeth Whitening Caution :: Rebecca Blood
My wife, who is a dental assistant, had ZOOM whitening done today by her boss. White the results are amazing, she too like many others have reported is experiencing severe pain and sensitivity. This has been pretty much from the onset of the treatment. Now I myself am a Dentist (I practice at a different office than she works at) and personally I have never had experience using the ZOOM procedure on my patients. I do use an in office system called AcquaBrite Deep Bleaching that produces comparable end results as Zoom, but the technique is somewhat different. It involves two in office deep bleaching sessions two weeks apart with a take home solution that is used nightly in between. The in office sessions do not use the UV light, but rather custom trays that hold the hydrogen peroxide solution combined with an accelerator. This is done for two 20 minute sessions on the first visit, and three 20 minute sessions on the second visit two weeks later. Special AcquaSeal swabs are used with every application both in office and at home to practically eliminate sensitivity. Of all the cases that I and my partner have done with this system, sensitivity that has been reported is extremely mild and most patients experience no sensitivity at all. Also there is very little irritation to the gums and soft tissue if the trays are made properly and loaded with the gel properly. This eliminates the need for the barrier that has to be applied when using the Zoom. So while the AcquaBrite procedure take more time overall, the end result is equivalent to that of Zoom, but the discomfort is virtually nonexistent. I am considering myself trying both systems on myself….lets say ZOOM for just the uppers and AcquaBrite for the lowers and compare the sensitivity and results. I suppose that would be pretty much a good controlled experiment. I’ll post back with my results if I do it!
