Philips zoom 14 teeth whitening gel
Philips Zoom whitening gel uses a peroxide bleaching agent; its concentration and application must follow the specific product protocol.
The short answer
Philips Zoom whitening gel is a peroxide-based dental bleaching material used with a Philips Zoom whitening protocol, and the exact gel formulation and application depend on the product supplied by the dental provider. It lightens natural tooth structure by oxidising colour molecules within enamel and dentine.
What does the number in the product name tell you?
The number in a product name does not by itself tell you how to use the gel. A professional system may involve a protective barrier, cheek retractors, calibrated gel placement, and a light or heat component selected by the clinic protocol.
How should you use the supplied whitening gel?
Use only the gel and trays provided or prescribed for your treatment, and follow the stated contact time. A dental examination should check cavities, leaking restorations, gum recession, and existing sensitivity before bleaching.
When should you contact the treating dental clinic?
Contact the treating clinic if gel causes persistent burning of the gums, marked sensitivity, blistering, or pain in one tooth. Whitening will not change the colour of crowns, veneers, fillings, or other restorations.
What treatment details should you confirm first?
Ask for the product name, active ingredient, concentration, exposure time, and instructions for missed or repeated applications. Ask how existing restorations and sensitive areas will be managed.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy the same gel online?
Product names and formulations can differ, so use only material supplied with clear professional instructions for your treatment.
Why are my teeth sensitive after gel?
Peroxide can temporarily move through enamel and dentine and irritate the tooth nerve, especially where dentine is exposed.
