Philips zoom 6 day white
Philips Zoom is a peroxide-based professional tooth-whitening system that lightens natural tooth colour after the dentist checks the teeth and gums.
The short answer
The name refers to a branded bleaching system, not a crown, filling, veneer, or treatment for decay. Whitening changes stain molecules in natural enamel and dentine, while restorations keep their existing shade.
What should your dentist examine before whitening?
The dentist examines enamel, dentine, pulp symptoms, gingiva, and restorations before treatment. A peroxide gel is applied to tooth surfaces with soft tissues protected; the protocol depends on the product and clinic.
What should be treated before you whiten your teeth?
Have cavities, leaking fillings, gum inflammation, and sensitivity assessed before whitening. Follow supplied instructions and do not add extra gel or treat restorations as though they were natural teeth.
When does uneven colour or pain need dental review?
Seek review for persistent sensitivity, chemical gum irritation, uneven colour, or pain. Whitening is not a substitute for treating decay, cracks, gum disease, or a discoloured tooth with a diseased pulp.
What should you ask about whitening and restorations?
Ask which Zoom formulation and protocol will be used, how existing restorations will match, what sensitivity plan is appropriate, and whether another treatment fits the discolouration.
Frequently asked questions
Can the symptom disappear without treating the cause?
Symptoms can fluctuate, but temporary relief does not show that the underlying dental problem has resolved.
What should I avoid meanwhile?
Avoid harsh products, squeezing, and activities that repeatedly irritate the area while arranging appropriate care.
