Zoom Whitening System is an effective laser tooth whitening procedure. Nevertheless, there is no dearth of complaints from dissatisfied patients. Besides the conventional complaints like increased sensitivity, gum irritation, not as effective as expected, there are some complaints only specific to the Zoom Whitening procedure.
These patients are complaining about prolonged teeth sensitivity, burnt and swollen lips, pain and burns in gum and even throat. They claim the UV light (laser light) has damaged their oral tissues and many are considering filing a lawsuit. So, let’s find out if zoom whitening system is to be held responsible for their swollen, painful lips and gums
First, let me clear a misconception most people have regarding the ultra-violet light used in the Zoom Whitening System. It is NOT UV rays but visible light of the blue spectrum and hence there is no chance of it causing cancer. There are numerous satisfied customers too with Zoom Whitening procedure. So whose fault is it?
The product or the patient?
Neither!
I personally believe it is the fault of the dentist. There is a strict methodology associated with any teeth bleaching procedure and dentists often do not strictly adhere to that which is reason for all the pain and suffering of the patient undergoing the whitening procedure. This does not imply that the dentist is at fault always. Some people are naturally sensitive to Zoom Whitening gel and even after all precautions experience many problems.
It is hence essential not to run after the best tooth whitening system but the best dental professional for the job. I am not implying quality of the product is not important but even an amazing product can be damaging if not employed correctly.
Here are some things that you should keep in mind while undergoing Zoom Whitening Treatment
- The dentist uses a protective gel on your lips, gums and oral tissues.
- That you do not undertake the procedure in single 1 hour session. Rather, go for 15 minute sessions with breaks in between them.
After every session, the protective gel should be wiped off and a new layer must be added
It should be noted that I neither endorse, support Zoom Whitening System nor an affiliate for them. I just expressed my views on the complications experienced by patients undertaking the procedure.
