 |  Has anyone had any tooth whitening procedures done?  I want to try Lazer Whitening, but I'm notsure if the delicate, radiated (1993)tissues in my mouth can take the procedure.

I did have Zoom whitening done in the office and it was very painful. |  |  |   |   |   |  |   |  Joined:  Dec 2010 Posts: 5,264 Likes: 5 "OCF Canuck" Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts) |   |   "OCF Canuck" Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts)
