ZOOM! Teeth Whitening Facts

Want Whiter Teeth in About an Hour?

Extensive research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision of a dentist is safe. In fact many dentists consider whitening the safest cosmetic dental procedure available.

Take a first step in feeling good and looking great with brighter, whiter teeth in less than an hour. Zoom! teeth whitening is safe, effective and very fast, and performed only by a dental professional.

The procedure is simple. It begins with a short preparation to cover your lips and gums, leaving only your teeth exposed.

The Zoom! clinician then applies the proprietary Zoom! whitening gel, which was designed to be used specifically with the Zoom! light. The light and gel work together to gently penetrate your teeth, breaking up the stains and discoloration.

The gel is applied for 3 fifteen minute sessions for a total treatment time of 45 minutes.

Then head home with a brighter, whiter smile!

Dental Emergencies

Tooth Accidents Happen

Knowing what to do when one occurs can mean the difference between saving and losing a tooth.

Call Dr. Fulks office and provide as much detail as possible about your condition. Remember, pain is a signal that something is wrong—a problem that will not disappear even if the pain subsides.

Common Dental Emergencies and What To Do

While the best practice for dealing with an emergency is to first call your dentist, here are a few tips for dealing with common dental emergencies:

Bitten Lip or Tongue
Clean the area gently with a cloth and apply cold compresses to reduce any swelling. If the bleeding doesn’t stop, go to a hospital emergency room immediately.

Broken Tooth
Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area. Use cold compresses on the area to keep any swelling down. Call your dentist immediately.

Knocked Out Tooth
Hold the tooth by the crown and rinse off the root of the tooth in water if it’s dirty. Do not scrub it or remove any attached tissue fragments. If possible, gently insert and hold the tooth in its socket. If that isn’t possible, put the tooth in a cup of milk and get to the dentist as quickly as possible. Remember to take the tooth with you!

Objects Caught Between Teeth
Try to gently remove the object with dental floss; avoid cutting the gums. Never use a sharp instrument to remove any object that is stuck between your teeth. If you can’t dislodge the object using dental floss, contact your dentist.

Toothache
Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean it out. Gently use dental floss or an interdental cleaner to ensure that there is no food or other debris caught between the teeth. Never put aspirin or any other painkiller against the gums near the aching tooth because it may burn the gum tissue. If the pain persists, contact your dentist.
