Ever had your teeth professionally whitened (Zoom)?

And got a “Zinger” afterwards? Holy snikees ... it’ll wake you, that’s for sure.

Usually subsides about 24 hours after but feels like an electrical shock going through the tooth / gum area.

Good times.

Yep. I've had mine done and the Zingers were bad enough where I couldn't finish the 45 minutes or whatever I paid for. I have pretty sensitive teeth fwiw.

I had a whitening done a while back by a dentist but not to the level that I had it done by another dentist last week.

The results are great but holy hell, they’ll pop you out of nowhere.

I made it through all three levels, no issues whatsoever while going through procedure. Ended up talking to hygienist, she asked how I felt ... great, no issues and about one minute later, BAM. She laughed. I had my first introduction to a zinger. Had about 5 or 6 after over next 12 hours. Gone now ... like the results.

I don't remember having them afterwards, only when the whitening was actually going on. I posted 45 minutes but it might have been 15. I don't remember. The first third I felt nothing, 2nd I had a few times that were uncomfortable, 3rd I made them stop it early.

I did 4, 15 minute sessions. I had never done it before and I didn’t realize what I was getting myself into. It started bothering me during the 3rd but I did the last one anyway cause it’s expensive AF. The hygienist gave me more of a “you can do it!” than a “stop if it’s hurting” so I thought I’d look like a pussy if I stopped. Afterwards, a different one told me I was the first person in a while to finish the whole thing....

Debilitating pain in my teeth for about 8 hours, and there’s literally nothing you can do to stop it. Never fricking again.

Mine were too white so I had them professionally yellowed.

I never have but this reminds me of a girl in a Verizon store I dealt with awhile back. Her teeth were so damn white they almost had a blue tint to them. That can't be good for your teeth, I believe just a little yellow is the norm.

Do any places give you a couple shots of the novacaine or sedate you for this?

How much would it cost to get my dentures whitened?

Any zingers involved?
