Hello again.
This may sound silly and unnecessary, but I have a question about a tooth whitening procedure called Zoom Whitening. I have always wanted to whiten my teeth, so, with the extra money from my government stimulus check, I went ahead and scheduled an appointment with my dentist to have this done next week. I know the use of light is involved, but I'm not sure what kind of light it is. I've read on several posts here that flouresent light can sometimes cause flares. That's disturbing because I am a teacher and I am under flouresent lights all day long during the school year. Anyway, I know that whatever kind of light is used, it will be confined to the area of my mouth only. My question is...is it safe to have any kind of light concentrated on any one spot of the body? In other words, do I need to be worried about this procedure making me sick? I know the it takes approx. 1 hour for the whole process to be done with the whitening, but I'm not sure how long the light is used in that time frame.
I hope this isn't too trivial a question to ask any of you, but I want to be very careful about anything I do to my body. I want beautiful white teeth, but I don't want to make myself sick just for the sake of vanity. :blush:
Thanks!
Rhonda
