Alternatives to Zoom teeth whitening system?

Question

Hi,

I read a lot of horror stories abotu how painul Zoom teeth whitening system is and I do not wish to go through this pain since I know my teeth are very sensitive. Does anyone know any alternative methods? Or professional whitening kits at home that I could get from my doctor without the ZOOM thing?

Answer 1

crest white strips are actually extremely effective, all whitening induces sensitivity pain, although it only temporary. So brush with sensodyne or similiar toothpaste that will ease the pain.  

Answer 2

I have had ZOOM whitening done on my own teeth and so have 2 of my daughters and my husband and son.  My dental office provides this service so we do this very often for patients.  I am ready to have this done a second time-my first time was in April of 2006.  

After the procedure my own experience was that the rest of the day my teeth hurt.  I took ibuprofen and ended up going to bed at an earlier time.  When I woke up the next day, I felt fine and my teeth were fine.  They felt fine.   AND They were WHITE  :)))

About 50% of people have my same response, and 50% seem to have no sensitivity at all.  We have had no one have more sensitivity than I did.

For the amount of results that I got in the time I had to spend, it was worth the pain.  

You could just get regular bleach trays and take home bleach from the dentist.

Answer 3

The Ultradent brand of products have a non-sensitivity component in them.....that I have tried (get very sensitive) and works.....You might see if your dentist caries that brand.
