Philips whitening kit

A Philips whitening kit uses a peroxide-based whitening gel, often with a light device, to reduce stains on natural tooth enamel.

Peroxide molecules break down stain compounds within enamel and dentin, while the tray controls where gel contacts the teeth. Existing restorations keep their original shade.

Check for cavities, cracked enamel, gum inflammation, exposed roots, and suitable tray fit before use; follow the product’s stated gel amount and wear time.

Stop and seek dental advice for marked sensitivity, gum burns, uneven color, or pain, and obtain an examination before whitening unexplained darkening.

Ask which formulation and concentration the kit uses, whether your restorations will match afterward, and how sensitivity or gum contact will be managed.
