What is Zoom whitening gel used for?
Zoom whitening gel is a peroxide-based dental bleaching material used with a fitted tray or a supervised in-office protocol.
How does peroxide gel alter tooth stain compounds?
The gel releases oxygen-containing molecules that pass through enamel and dentine and alter stain compounds. The exact formulation and application protocol depend on the product and treatment setting. Sensitivity and gum irritation depend on peroxide strength, exposure, tray fit, enamel condition, recession, and previous sensitivity. Tooth-coloured fillings, veneers, and crowns do not lighten like natural teeth.
What affects sensitivity during Zoom gel whitening?
Sensitivity and gum irritation depend on peroxide strength, exposure, tray fit, enamel condition, recession, and previous sensitivity. Tooth-coloured fillings, veneers, and crowns do not lighten like natural teeth. Use only the gel and tray supplied for your protocol, keep it off the gingiva, and follow the stated wear or appointment instructions. Do not combine products without guidance.
How should you apply and wear whitening gel?
