I thought any of the topical treatments, OTC or from a dentist, might make your teeth sensitive because they all use the same ingredient. The hydrogen peroxide whitens teeth but also makes them sensitive.
My dentist told me that that the prescribed topical treatments use a higher concentration of it, causing a higher risk of sensitivity. But the doc will also be able to prescribe a numbing agent that reduces that sensation. Mine recommended using the OTC treatments first, and if I was unsatisfied with them, to proceed to treatments with him.
I used Crest WhiteStrips and was satisfied. I had to space out the applications because of the sensitivity, though. Instead of two strips every day, I had to do one strip a day, sometimes one every other day.
The Zoom procedure might be different for sensitivity because it's a laser, right?
i was just reading about teeth whitening...and popular procedures such as zoom dont really use a laser so more like light activated but i think people refer to it as laser. Here is what this one site said:
LaserTeethWhitening
Is it really laser teeth whitening you are seeking or is it whiter teeth in one hour? What's the difference you ask? Well over the last 4 years or so we have seen a boom in the teeth whitening market. It is become a boomin industry due to many factors. Many people commonly refer to well known branded teeth whitening systems like Zoom or Britesmile as laser teeth whitening.
This is wrong, both systems actually fall into a category called light activated tooth whitening as there is no actual laser that whitens the teeth. Both systems are great and they work, so why pick one system over another? Britesmile was the biggest player in the market when they first hit the market, they spent millions of marketing dollars to build their brand through many sources of media. Many dentists jumped on board and were certified to offer this incredible whitening system. Soon after a company called Discus Dental started to become well known with their competitive system called Zoom. This new brand of whitening became very popular due to its exposure on the hit show Extreme Makeover.

I have already started because it can be a bit painful.. your teeth become very sensitive. I will get the name of th stuff I use.. Its from the dentist and you need to get a tooth mold made from the dentist as well.. It runs about 300 dollars for like 7 syringes//

last week when i took my grandma to the dentist i saw this thing for the zoom procedure for teeth whitening. I asked the lady about it and you do it one time and its $300 so i am definitely doing it for that price. I am going to wait until about a month before the wedding. It whitens it about 8 shades lighter
