Zoom! Chairside WhiteningDo you want to Zoom! Get ready to Zoom! Tune in to Zoom! How does whitening work?The whitening gel’s active ingredient is hydrogen peroxide. As the hydrogen peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin, bleaching coloured substances while the tooth is unchanged. The Zoom! light aids in activating the hydrogen peroxide and helps it penetrate the surface of the tooth.A study has shown that the use of the Zoom! lamp increases the effectiveness of the Zoom! gel by 26% or more, giving an average improvement of eight shades. What does a patient experience during the Zoom!-In Office procedure?During the procedure, patients may comfortably watch television or listen to music. Individuals with a strong gag reflex or anxiety may have difficulty undergoing the entire procedure. How is exposure to the Zoom! Chairside light controlled?The Zoom procedure requires that all soft tissue in and around the mouth be protected. The clinician is required to monitor the procedure to insure any exposed skin or tissue is isolated and protected. Protective eyewear is required during the procedure. Light sensitive individuals, including those undergoing PUVA therapy (psoralen+UV radiation ) or other photochemotherapy, or patients with melanoma, should not undergo the Zoom! In-Office procedure. Also, patients taking any light sensitive drugs or substances, whether over the counter, prescription or homeopathic, should consult their physician prior to the procedure. Anyone who is not eligible for Zoom! Chairside whitening for these reasons may be an excellent candidate for professional home whitening. How long does Zoom! Chairside Whitening take?The complete procedure takes less than an hour. The procedure begins with preparation period followed as little as by 45 minutes of bleaching. [A cleaning is recommended prior to the actual Zoom! whitening session.] Are there any side effects?Sensitivity during the treatment may occur with some patients. The Zoom! light generates minimal heat which is the usual source of discomfort. On rare occasions, minor tingling sensations are experienced immediately after the procedure, but always dissipates.

Tricks of the Trade!The truth about whitening!There is no evidence that whitening toothpastes can actually whiten your teeth, many are good at preventing stain build-up. Whitening Kits can at best do nothing and at worse some of those bought abroad or over the internet can actually harm your teeth as they contain acids/abrasives that can cause permanent damage.
