Tooth Mousse benefits
Tooth mousse is a topical dental product that contains calcium and phosphate, which are minerals that are important for tooth health. GC Tooth Mousse is a crème for teeth that contains calcium and phosphate, the minerals teeth are made from, carried in a milk-derived protein and available in a soluble form. Tooth Mousse provides extra protection for teeth, buffers dental plaque acid from bacteria in the mouth and also protects teeth from acidic foods and drinks.
Tooth Mousse is available in two options: with or without fluoride. Tooth Mousse does not contain fluoride so is suitable for small children, and Tooth Mousse Plus contains fluoride, so is suited to older children and adults. Tooth Mousse is not toothpaste, rather a cream that is applied to the teeth and not rinsed off. It is made of milk products and it can be used throughout the day.
Here are some of the benefits of using tooth mousse:
Remineralisation: Tooth mousse can help to promote the remineralisation of tooth enamel. The minerals in tooth mousse can be absorbed by the teeth and used to repair small areas of demineralisation or early-stage tooth decay, which can help to prevent the need for more extensive dental treatments in the future.
Sensitivity relief: Tooth mousse can also help to reduce tooth sensitivity. The minerals in tooth mousse can help to block the tiny tubules in the teeth that transmit pain signals, which can help to reduce sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, sweets, and acidic foods.
Protection: Tooth mousse can provide a protective barrier over the teeth, which can help to prevent further demineralization and tooth decay. This can be especially beneficial for individuals who are at a higher risk of developing cavities or who have weakened enamel due to factors like acidic foods or drinks, dry mouth, or certain medications.
Whitening: Some tooth mousse products also contain added ingredients like fluoride or calcium sodium phosphosilicate, which can help to whiten the teeth and improve their overall appearance.
Tooth mousse is typically applied directly to the teeth using a special applicator or a dental tray. It is available in a range of flavors and can be used in conjunction with regular dental hygiene practices like brushing and flossing to help maintain optimal oral health. However, it is important to consult with a dentist to determine if tooth mousse is a suitable option for your individual needs.
