How does Philips Zoom take-home whitening work?

Philips Zoom take-home whitening uses dentist-prescribed peroxide gel in trays made or selected for your teeth.

How does peroxide break down stain molecules in teeth?

This is dentist-supervised home bleaching: peroxide enters enamel and dentin and breaks down some stain molecules.

What does an examination check before trays are provided?

An examination checks cavities, cracks, gum inflammation, exposed roots, and restorations before trays and gel are provided.

When should toothache or gum bleeding be assessed first?

Use the prescribed schedule, place only the directed gel amount, wipe gel from the gums, and keep trays clean.

What should you ask about mismatched restorations?

Arrange care first for toothache, cavities, gum bleeding, enamel defects, or a restoration that looks mismatched.
