Teeth Whitening

PAP gel also known as phthalimido-peroxy-hexanoic acid is a non-toxic, hydrogen peroxide-free whitening agent proven to whiten teeth. PAP also has anti-plaque and long lasting anti-bacterial benefits. This is a great alternative for those who do not wish to use dental peroxide whitening. PAP isn’t made with any acidic chemicals so is considered more safer to use at home and contains more natural based ingredients. The possibility of chemical burns on the gum area are reduced as its free from peroxide.

PAP whitening works by creating a layer over the teeth. It contains an ingredient called PVP (can be one of two types – poly vinyl propylene or poly vinyl pyrrolidine) which is a very sticky ingredient that sticks to the teeth blocking the enamel tubules to help prevent stains and because it is a highly absorbent component in the formulation, when the PAP oxidises the chemical bonds bind the ingredients to create a reaction that break the solution down with oxygen, spreading out on to your teeth and then it is the absorbed into the PVP thus creating a whiter layer on your teeth. The oxidation also neutralises the double bonds which cause discoloration in teeth (staining). This type of whitening option is also a lot more cost effective to the consumer and you can purchase this online without consulting a dentist first.

PAP kits tend to always come with an activated blue LED light. This is used to amplify the reaction between the PAP and tooth stains whilst speeding up the whitening process.
