Zoom whitening touch up kit instructions
Use a Zoom touch-up kit only as instructed after checking that your teeth, gums, trays, and restorations are suitable.
The short answer
Use a Zoom whitening touch-up kit only according to its supplied instructions and after checking that your teeth, gums, trays, and restorations are suitable.
How should whitening gel contact your teeth and gums?
The gel should contact tooth surfaces while staying off gums. Touch-ups do not bleach crowns, veneers, fillings, or bonding, and poor fit can increase irritation.
What should you do when using a touch-up kit?
Read the product label, use only the directed amount, wipe overflow from gums, and stop for significant sensitivity or irritation. Do not use a damaged tray.
When should a dentist assess a whitening touch-up problem?
Contact a dentist for persistent sensitivity, gum burns, pain, uneven colour, or a dark tooth.
What should you ask about your touch-up whitening kit?
Ask whether the kit fits your tray, how much gel to use, and which restorations will not change shade.
Frequently asked questions
Can extra gel work faster?
No. It can increase leakage, sensitivity, and gum irritation.
Why is one tooth unchanged?
It may contain a restoration or have internal staining.
