Zoom 14 day white

Zoom is in-office peroxide whitening with gum protection, while a 14-day plan usually means dentist-directed tray use at home.

The right response depends on the tissue involved and whether the problem is local or linked to a wider health issue.

Whitening uses peroxide to break down colored molecules in natural enamel and dentin. Crowns, veneers, fillings, and implants do not bleach like natural teeth.

A clinical examination separates a surface change from disease beneath the gum, inside a tooth, or elsewhere in the mouth.

The dentist checks decay, cracks, gum inflammation, and restorations, then protects the gums before applying clinic gel or prescribing measured gel in fitted trays.

Record triggers and changes so the clinician can match the symptom with the examination.

Seek an examination before whitening when teeth are painful, gums bleed, restorations are visible, or sensitivity is significant.

Do not delay when symptoms are worsening or interfering with eating, sleeping, or normal mouth function.

Ask which discoloration is present, whether restorations will mismatch, which product and contact time are planned, and how sensitivity will be managed.

Ask what you can do between visits and how the result will be checked.
