Philips zoom take home

Philips Zoom take-home whitening uses custom trays or a supplied tray with peroxide gel applied to the tooth surfaces at home.

The product name refers to a whitening system, not a diagnosis. A dental examination is important because cavities, gum disease, exposed roots, fillings, crowns, and veneers can change the plan and will not all respond like natural enamel.

Follow the supplied wear schedule, place only the instructed amount of gel, wipe away gel that touches the gums, and keep the trays clean and dry. Stop and contact the clinic if burning, marked sensitivity, or gum irritation develops.

Arrange an examination before whitening if you have toothache, untreated decay, cracked teeth, gum bleeding, or open sores. Seek care promptly for persistent pain, facial swelling, or a reaction that does not settle after removing the trays.

Ask which teeth are suitable, what concentration and wear time apply to your gel, and how existing restorations will look afterward. Ask how sensitivity or gum irritation will be managed if it occurs.
