Zoom whitening relief acp
After Zoom whitening, ACP desensitising toothpaste and clinic aftercare may help, but severe or lasting pain needs a dental review.
The short answer
After Zoom whitening, sensitivity relief may include a desensitising toothpaste containing ACP or another mineral ingredient, together with the aftercare supplied by the clinic. Severe, uneven, or persistent pain should be assessed because whitening can expose an untreated dental problem.
What happens to enamel during Zoom whitening?
Zoom is a peroxide whitening treatment applied to enamel, sometimes with a dental light. ACP means amorphous calcium phosphate, an ingredient used in some desensitising products.
How can you ease sensitivity after whitening treatment?
Follow the clinic’s gel and eating instructions, use the recommended desensitising product, and avoid very hot or cold drinks while sensitivity lasts. Do not add extra gel or repeat treatment early.
When does whitening sensitivity need dental assessment?
Contact the treating clinic if pain is intense, focused in one tooth, or accompanied by a crack, swelling, or spontaneous throbbing. The dentist may test the pulp and inspect for decay or a leaking restoration.
What should you ask about whitening sensitivity relief?
Ask which desensitising ingredient and contact time suit your teeth, whether a cavity could explain the pain, and how an uneven colour will be managed.
