Tooth Sensitivity/Pain-During the first 24 hours after Zoom II treatment:
Some patients experience some tooth sensitivity or pain after Zoom II treatment. Taking Ibuprofen will help with discomfort. This is normal and is usually mild, but can be worse in susceptible individuals. Normally tooth sensitivity or pain after Zoom II treatment subsides within 24 hours, but in rare cases can persist for longer. People with existing sensitivity, recession, exposed dentin, exposed root surfaces, recently cracked teeth, open cavities, fillings with leaks, or other dental conditions that cause sensitivity or allow penetration of gel into the tooth may find that those conditions increase or prolong sensitivity or pain after Zoom II treatment.
Gum/Cheek/Lip Inflamation:
Whitening may cause your gums, lips, or cheeks to be inflamed. This is due
to inadvertent exposure of those tissues, to the whitening gel, or ultraviolet
light. This is temporary and will subside within a few days. Mineral oil
for your gums, and vitamin E cream for your lips is provided in your take
home kit to further aid with sensitivities.
