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.
