Description
Tooth Mousse is a topical oral health product that was developed at the Melbourne Dental School, University of Melbourne.
Tooth Mousse comes in the form of a foamy crème, and is available in a range of flavours including: Melon, Strawberry, Tutti-Frutti, Mint and Vanilla.
Tooth Mousse contains casein (a major milk protein), as well as calcium and phosphate. Calcium and phosphate are the major minerals that teeth are made from.
Tooth Mousse is available in two product options: with or without fluoride. The general Tooth Mousse product does not contain fluoride, whereas Tooth Mousse Plus does contain fluoride.
Tooth Mousse is not toothpaste. It is made of milk products so swallowing the product is safe and it can be used throughout the day.
What does Tooth Mousse do?
Tooth Mousse has been shown to remineralise decayed teeth by replenishing lost calcium and phosphate, and restore subsurface areas of defect in teeth enamel.
In addition, Tooth Mousse may help to:
Relieve teeth sensitivity.
Protect teeth from dental decay.
Buffer dental plaque acid from bacteria in the mouth (help neutralise an acidic environment).
Protect teeth from acidic food and drinks.
Repair tooth damage in the early stages of decay.
Prevent tooth erosion (*to some extent).
Treat dry mouth syndrome (*to some extent).
Why use Tooth Mousse?
One of the main reasons people use Tooth Mousse is to restore mineral balance in the oral environment.
Advantages of Tooth Mousse include:
Help reduce teeth sensitivity. For cases where cold drinks produce extreme sensitivity, or there is some evidence of gum recession.
It can be used after Teeth Whitening procedures to help minimise teeth sensitivity.
It can be of great benefit to patients undergoing orthodontic treatments (wearing braces) as it can help to reduce tooth decay around dental brackets.
Provide another method of protection to teeth against decay. Whilst fluoride helps to protect the outside of the tooth to make it strong, Tooth Mousse soaks inside the tooth to help remineralise it by providing additional calcium and phosphate.
