What is included in a Philips Zoom whitening kit?
A Philips Zoom whitening kit is a peroxide-based take-home system used with trays; fit, tooth health, and instructions affect the result.
How does the dentist prepare you for take-home whitening?
The dentist checks the teeth and gums, records the starting shade, and selects or verifies the tray fit. The patient then places the instructed amount of gel in the tray for the prescribed contact period.
How should you use and store the whitening kit?
Brush normally, keep gel off the gumline, remove excess gel, and follow the supplied wear and storage instructions. Do not use a tray over untreated decay or put extra gel into it.
When should you stop using the whitening kit?
Stop and contact the dental team if you develop burning gums, marked sensitivity, swelling, or pain. A dark single tooth, leaking restoration, or visible cavity should be examined before further whitening.
What should you ask about your whitening kit?
Ask which Zoom formulation is in the kit, how much gel belongs in each tray space, whether restorations will need colour planning, and what to do if sensitivity develops.
Frequently asked questions
Will the kit whiten fillings?
No. It can lighten natural tooth structure, while fillings, crowns, and veneers keep their existing colour.
Can I sleep in the trays?
Only if the specific instructions from the dental team say the formulation and tray are intended for that wear period.
