What is PAP?

PAP stands for phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid, an organic compound that enables gentle teeth whitening. Unlike conventional whitening agents such as hydrogen peroxide, which is often used in whitening products, PAP is much gentler on tooth enamel and gums. This property makes it the ideal choice for people with sensitive teeth who do not want to miss out on a radiant smile.

The advantages of PAP in dental care

The integration of PAP (phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid) into dental care is revolutionising the way we think about teeth whitening. This advanced component, which can be found in a variety of products such as toothpastes, whitening strips and comprehensive whitening kits, offers a wealth of benefits that go far beyond mere whitening.

One of the most outstanding benefits of PAP in dental care is its ability to combat tooth discolouration in a way that is both effective and gentle. Unlike traditional bleaching agents, which often use harsh chemicals such as peroxide, PAP works by targeting the molecular structures that cause discolouration and breaking them down without damaging the enamel. This results in a visible whitening of the teeth without compromising the structural integrity or health of the tooth.

Another significant benefit of PAP is the reduction in the risk of tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. Many people are reluctant to use whitening products for fear of the painful sensitivity that often occurs as a side effect. PAP offers a gentle alternative that effectively whitens teeth without irritating the gums or tooth enamel. This makes PAP-based products an excellent choice for those with already sensitive teeth or those who prefer gentler care.

In addition, PAP plays an important role in maintaining overall oral health. By gently whitening teeth while minimising the risk of irritation, PAP supports gum health and helps to keep tooth enamel strong and intact. This is particularly important as enamel is the first line of defence against decay and erosion. By maintaining the health of the enamel, PAP helps to promote a healthy smile in the long term.

In summary, the use of PAP in dental care is not only an effective way to combat tooth discolouration and whiten teeth, but also offers a gentler approach that minimises the risk of sensitivity and irritation. At the same time, it helps to maintain gum and enamel health, making it an excellent choice for anyone who values a bright, healthy smile.

Find out more about our products here:

  • Whitening Toothpaste: Toothpastes with PAP offer daily whitening while providing fresh breath and protection against tooth decay. Ingredients such as xylitol, activated charcoal and menthol help to improve oral health and provide a pleasant feeling of freshness.
  • Whitening kits: Complete kit, the PAP-based whitening gel, provides intense at-home whitening. The kit is equipped with LED light technology to enhance the effectiveness of the PAP.

In-Office Bleaching in the Studio

At ALPINE WHITE, we offer professional bleaching that is specially designed to whiten your teeth effectively and painlessly. To achieve optimum results, we recommend having your teeth professionally cleaned a maximum of 2 months before bleaching. This prepares the teeth ideally for the treatment by removing tartar, plaque and biofilm so that the whitening gel can work optimally.

Our whitening process involves the application of a special whitening gel in four 15-minute sessions. This gel gently penetrates the enamel without the use of LED light or peroxides, breaking up discoloured pigments and making your teeth appear brighter. The formulation of our gel ensures a pain-free treatment that is suitable even for sensitive teeth.

Immediately after treatment, we recommend avoiding discolouring foods and drinks as well as smoking for 24 hours to ensure the best possible result. To maintain your bright white smile in the long term, you should ensure good dental care and optimum oral hygiene. We also offer you our whitening strips, which you can use for 1 hour a day for the next 7 days after the whitening treatment to optimise the whitening result. You will receive these free of charge with your treatment. For an enhanced effect, we also recommend our Whitening Toothpaste Extra White, which supports the whitening effect and makes your smile even brighter.

Discover the painless and effective way to whiten your teeth at ALPINE WHITE and enjoy the feeling of a fresh, radiantly white smile.

PAP+ formula: The next level of teeth whitening

Some products go one step further and combine PAP with other valuable ingredients such as hydroxyapatite, glycerine and aqua to create the so-called PAP+ formula. This formula not only provides effective whitening, but also promotes enamel remineralisation and moisturises, resulting in a healthier smile.

The demand for PAP-based dental care products is also growing steadily in Germany and ALPINE WHITE is proud to sell the products there too.
