Dentist New York-Dr Lawrence Spindel Zoom Photo Reactive Drug Information Sheet

                              Go Back

Included in every Zoom Whitening Kit is a sheet which details medications which are commonly considered phoreactive and Zoom maintains that that these might cause an adverse reaction if used in conjunction with the Zoom System.

It is Dr Spindel's opinion that If you are taking one of these medications it may be advisable to consider an in office whitening system that does not utilize a UV or Laser system.  For our patients taking these medications we are currently using The Nupro White Gold In-office Whitening System instead of the Zoom System.

Below is the list of medications that Discus mentions:

Cosmetic Dentist New Yor

Cosmetic Dentistry Tip: Brushing alone is usually not enough to ensure that a person won’t develop periodontal disease. Since 40% of a tooth’s surface is not reachable by tooth brushing, some sort of interproximal cleaning device should be used on a regular basis. Floss, Stimudents and small interproximal brushe , and all work well. It doesn’t matter as much which method is chosen, but what counts is that one of these is effectively used on a regular basis. Regular and frequent professional cleaning at the dentist also help, since they remove any accumulations of plaque and tarter that have been missed by a patient by their daily homecare regime. Also a patients home care can be checked at frequent cleaning visits and the hygienist will encourage them to do better. Human nature being what it is, patients often perform their best home care immediately before and after their checkups. .
