In our family dentistry office, there is a sign that advertises for zoom teeth whitening. I know that several of my friends have had it done but I worry that it will make my teeth even more sensitive than they already are. In fact, my teeth are so sensitive that the toothpastes that are on the market to whiten your teeth even hurt.

I made an appointment to just sit down and discuss the zoom teeth whitening treatments with my doctor and see if he thought I would be a good candidate for it or not. He looked over my records and asked me some questions and after I answered all of them, he told me that I might not have any issues but it was more likely that I would. There would be pretty much nothing that he could do if I did start to develop more sensitivity than normal either. I decided to just walk out of the family dentistry office and forget all about having the perfect set of pearly white teeth.

The risk of what could happen was much more than what the outcome would accomplish, so I am going to just have to deal with it like an adult. I am just hoping that my kids do not develop the same kinds of sensitivity that I have as an adult.
