Why am i having pain in my teeth after having zoom whitening done? i've been having short, sharp, shooting pains in a few of my teeth after using the zoom system. i'm not even sure if the pain is related, but nothing else is different. could the whitening

The : The zoom! procedure can cause sensitivity post whitening. The strong light, heat, and the bleaching material can irritate the nerves in your teeth. There are medications that your dentist can give you to help your sensitivity. Give them a call.

It : It is not abnormal to have sensitivity to bleaching. Some patients may have more sensitivity than others. Typically it will resolve on its own with a day or two. However, this is also assuming that there are no other dental issues, such as decay.

Miami, It : Miami, it should be gone within 24 hours and is very normal to have that kind of discomfort 1-2 days after zoom. I provide desensitizing prior and after to help reduce this, but it still can occur. If it continues beyond 1-2 days see your dentist. Hope that is helpful, michael i.

Zoom : Zoom is a teeth whitening system that is not for everbody, especially those with sensitive teeth. We have it available in our office, but usually are very careful which patients we use it on because the sensitivity and those electrical shocks and shooting pains can last longer than a few days! we use rock star whitening system which does not cause these painful after shocks and does a great job with bringing your teeth up to a beautiful white color that looks natural!

Don't : Don't worry, those shutting pain or electrical discharges you may be experiencing are completely normal for many patients, it is a reversible condition caused by the bleaching material used, by the infiltration of the whitening material through the porosities of your teeth. You can control somehow you pain with 2 advil or 2 tylenol (acetaminophen) whatever fits you better. You will feel better tomorrow. Good luck!
