Why buy from a dentist?

The safest and most effective way to whiten your teeth is using a product prescribed by a dental professional.

Whitening kits you buy elsewhere won’t contain the same level of active ingredients and could even include harmful substances including citric acid or bicarbonate of soda. These can dissolve stains but could also cause longer term damage to dental surfaces, which might cause bigger problems in future.

Professional products contain safe levels of hydrogen peroxide which are more effective and gentler on enamel. Your tooth absorbs the hydrogen peroxide and breaks down colour molecules, turning the tooth white from the inside, as well as removing stains on the outside.

Will whitening cause sensitivity?

Whitening can cause some sensitivity, which is completely normal, but it can be reduced by using a specialist formula. Phillips Zoom! gels include a desensitiser known as ACP that’s shown to reduce sensitivity without compromising on results.
