How does Zoom NiteWhite 22 whiten your teeth?
Zoom NiteWhite 22 is a take-home whitening system using a custom tray and carbamide peroxide gel, with effects depending on the teeth and protocol.
What happens to stains during NiteWhite whitening?
The peroxide breaks down and oxidises some stain molecules within enamel and dentine. It whitens natural teeth, not fillings, crowns, veneers, or dentures.
What should you check before using NiteWhite 22?
A dentist checks for decay, leaking restorations, gum inflammation, and exposed roots, then verifies tray fit and instructions. Keep gel off the gums and pause for sensitivity.
When should sensitivity after whitening be reviewed?
Have an examination before whitening with pain, decay, gum disease, cracks, or extensive restorations; persistent sensitivity needs review.
What should you ask about NiteWhite suitability?
Ask what structure is affected, which examination is needed, and which treatment or product fits your teeth, gums, appliance, and medical history.
