I am getting Zoom Whitening the 2nd week in January. My friend got it last month and after her session, her gums were sore and red. Are my gums going to be red and sore? – Bethany

Bethany – You may experience some sensitivity after Zoom!® whitening, but your gums should not be sore and red.

Before the bleaching gel is applied, a protective coating is applied to your gums to keep them from burning from the treatment. Your dentist will address any concerns you have about sensitivity after the procedure.

I have 3 kids. The pediatric dentist says that my 5 yr old has 2 cavities that need to be filled. The 5 yr old is my youngest. Neither of the older children ever needed to have a cavity filled in a primary tooth that will eventually fall out. Is this really necessary? Thank you. – Wendy

Wendy – Untreated decay in a tooth can progress into an infection. If the infection is left untreated, it can lead to a pulpotomy for children, which is similar to an adult root canal treatment.

Removing the decay from the tooth and preserving it not only protects the tooth from infection. It preserves the tooth as a placeholder and helps permanent tooth erupt in the correct position.

Your child’s dentist is considering the long-term benefits of filling the cavities.
