Explaining Teeth Whitening
At Polish + White we have researched the most effective whitening options to give you a brighter, fresher smile.​
Do you have sensitive teeth?
PAP+ is your gentler option
Zero to minimum sensitivity with no tooth dehydration or mineral loss.
I researched whitening formulas until I found Hismile Pap+ professional in-chair system which uses the latest scientific peroxide free whitening formulation with impressive results. This is my go to for people with sensitive teeth who would never considered whitening.
Teeth whitening uses chemical bleaching agents, ie hydrogen peroxide, that enter the tooth enamel and break down stains into simpler forms. However they also release free radicals which can cause sensitivity, gum irritation, demineralisation and burns. Pap+ does not release free radicals so there are no zingers or gum burns during or after treatment and is so gentle there is no need for a gum barrier.
​
​This formula is sold exclusively to dental professionals and is peroxide-free, at a pH of 7.- 7.5 to avoid sensitivity (water pH is 7). Results are a truer natural shade of white and the final colour is stable with no rebound. (Some whitening treatments can lose brilliance days after treatment).
What is PAP+?
Phthalimidoperoxycaproicacid
exclusively reacts with the stain molecules on teeth.
Why the '+'?
1.Nano hydroxyapatite redeposits lost minerals into enamel.
2.Potassium citrate decreases the level of activity of dental sensory nerves so less tooth sensitivity.

The whitening process
01
A 'before' photo of teeth is taken for reference. Then a light polish and mini superficial ID scale is carried out to remove surface stains and visible calculus.
02
Vit E oil or barrier is added to protect gums, and the first layer of gel is applied and allowed to process for 12/15 mins. The light gently accelerates whitening.
03
Step 02 is repeated a further 3 to 4 times. The teeth whitening procedure can take between 50 mins to 1 hr 1/2 depending on which option you choose.
04
A post-treatment photo is taken for comparison. A hydrating lip mask is applied. Aftercare is discussed as well as tips to maintain your white smile.
