So let&#8217;s start with finding out exactly what PAP is and how it works to whiten your teeth.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h2 id=\"what-is-pap\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is PAP+?<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PAP+ is a teeth-whitening formula created by Hismile. It contains Pthalimidoperoxycaproic Acid (PAP), hydroxyapatite, and potassium citrate. PAP is a whitening agent <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/34940045\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">proven to be a safe<\/a> peroxide alternative. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nano-hydroxyapatite and potassium citrate work to strengthen and protect the tooth&#8217;s enamel and reduce preexisting sensitivity while protecting from any future tooth sensitivity. <\/p>    <h2 id=\"what-is-pap-teeth-whitening\" class=\"wp-block-heading wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">What is PAP teeth whitening?&nbsp;<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-paragraph\">PAP, the abbreviation for <strong>phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid<\/strong>,&nbsp;is the main whitening ingredient in some whitening products. Brands like Hismile use PAP as the main ingredient in their whitening products.

More recently though, some companies have created a safe and effective formula to use in their whitening products that are gaining in popularity.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h2 id=\"how-does-pap-teeth-whitening-work\" class=\"wp-block-heading wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">How does PAP teeth whitening work?&nbsp;<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-paragraph\">PAP is an alternative ingredient to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/teeth-whitening\/peroxide-teeth-whitening\/\" data-type=\"page\" target=\"_blank\">hydrogen peroxide for whitening teeth<\/a>, and shares both similarities and differences in how it goes about whitening teeth. Let&#8217;s go over how whitening works.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-paragraph\">There are two types of whitening: physical and chemical. Physical whitening is the removal of stains on the surface of your teeth through abrasion, and chemical whitening bleaches your teeth on the surface and removes stains embedded slightly deeper.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-paragraph\">There are three main ingredients that can be used in chemical teeth whitening:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Hydrogen peroxide<\/li>    <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/teeth-whitening\/carbamide-vs-hydrogen-peroxide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Carbamide peroxide<\/a><\/li>    <li>Phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid (PAP)&nbsp;<\/li> <\/ul>    <p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-paragraph\">Each of these ingredients whitens teeth by oxidizing stains and lightening the overall tooth color. They work by entering through the enamel layer and altering and breaking down the molecules that hold color. The smaller the molecule the lighter the color.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-paragraph\">The difference between these whitening ingredients is that when peroxides get to work they release free radicals that can damage your teeth and gum tissue. PAP does not release free radicals when it oxidizes stains, making it much safer for you to use to whiten your teeth.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-paragraph\">In the following video, Professor Laurie Walsh explains the science behind PAP teeth whitening: <\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"> https:\/\/youtu.be\/6ato74P6vho <\/div><\/figure>    <h2 id=\"what-is-the-difference-between-pap-and-pap\" class=\"wp-block-heading wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">What is the difference between PAP and PAP+?<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-paragraph\">Hismile uses phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid <strong>(PAP) whitening<\/strong>, but you may have noticed that Hismile refers to their whitening formula as PAP+. So how does this differ from PAP?<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-paragraph\">The + in Hismile&#8217;s PAP+ formula actually refers to the ingredient nano-hydroxyapatite (Nano-HAp). Hismile includes the ingredient hydroxyapatite (HAp), a naturally occurring form of calcium apatite found in bones, saliva, and teeth. HAp helps to remineralize teeth by replacing minerals and strengthening weakened enamel.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-paragraph\">Hismile uses a nano-synthetic version that works slightly better because the particles are smaller, and can therefore fill in more damaged areas of enamel. Nano-HAp has been proven to remineralize enamel, specifically initial lesions, at a higher rate than fluoride.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-paragraph\">Hismile\u2019s PAP+ formula also includes potassium citrate to help with any pre-existing sensitivity you may have prior to whitening your teeth.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, in short, a PAP+ formula is no more effective at whitening teeth, but it should do a better job of remineralizing enamel.<\/p>    <h2 id=\"what-are-the-best-pap-teeth-whitening-products\" class=\"wp-block-heading wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">What are the best PAP teeth whitening products?&nbsp;<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-paragraph\">Hismile is one of the most well-known brands that have PAP teeth whitening products available. Our top picks are their whitening kits, but Hismile has a whole range of PAP+ whitening products. You can choose from whitening strips, powder, toothpaste, and mouthwash.&nbsp;<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">Hismile PAP+ Whitening Strips&nbsp;<\/h3>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/10\/hismile-pap-whitening-strips-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"PAP whitening strips\" class=\"wp-image-64969\" style=\"width:208px;height:208px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/10\/hismile-pap-whitening-strips-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/10\/hismile-pap-whitening-strips-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/10\/hismile-pap-whitening-strips-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/10\/hismile-pap-whitening-strips-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/10\/hismile-pap-whitening-strips-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/10\/hismile-pap-whitening-strips.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hismile&#8217;s PAP+ Whitening Strips<\/figcaption><\/figure> <\/div>   <p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-paragraph\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/deeplink?id=nfoG2\/RitEY&#038;mid=50309&#038;murl=https:\/\/us.hismileteeth.com\/products\/whitening-strips&#038;u1=patw\" target=\"_blank\">These whitening strips<\/a> work just like other <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/teeth-whitening\/whitening-strips\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"18520\" target=\"_blank\">types of whitening strips<\/a>, except they use Hismile\u2019s PAP+ formula.
