The most common side effect is tooth and gum sensitivity, however, Philips Zoom at-home whitening products have two mild desensitising agents to minimise tooth sensitivity. These are potassium nitrate and Amorphous Calcium Phosphate; however, your dentist will ensure that only the required amount of whitening formula is used for you to achieve high-quality results with as little sensitivity.

Philips Zoom includes custom-fitted trays for at-home treatments or a suited light intensity and duration while in the dental surgery.

Whitening is a temporary solution to eliminate existing stains, and with the consumption of coffee, soft drinks or even with natural ageing, it is possible for discolouration to occur again. Philips Zoom at-home whitening products include ACP, which has been proven to combat recurring discolouration.
