Tooth Mousse is a product you may have heard us talk about in our blogs, newsletters or in the practice, but not everybody understands why it’s used. Tooth mousse is a calcium phosphate treatment for teeth, which contains fluoride and other ingredients that can have many benefits for teeth. In this blog we will explain how tooth mousse works and what it can help with.

 – Tooth Mousse for whitening: When patients are whitening their teeth at home, we recommend using tooth mousse before or after each bleaching session. Bleaching teeth dehydrates your tooth’s enamel and decreases mineral levels. By using tooth mousse before or after your whitening, you are restoring and replenishing minerals to your enamel.

– Tooth Mousse for sensitivity: Patients experiencing sensitivity to hot or cold can benefit from regular use of tooth mousse, as the high mineral, fluoride and calcium content in tooth mousse strengthens your enamel and can therefore decrease sensitivity.

 – Tooth Mousse to prevent cavities: Teeth that have weaker enamel are more prone to decay, as the bacteria can more easily penetrate thinner, weaker enamel. To boost your teeth’s strength against decay, using tooth mousse regularly is similar to using a treatment on your hair or nails – it strengthens the tooth and repairs weaker enamel. The range of yummy flavours make tooth mousse a perfect option for children who are prone to decay. It’s crucial to strengthen young teeth before any damage is done.

– Tooth Mousse for enamel hypoplasia: Enamel hypoplasia is flecks or spots of discolouration on the tooth’s surface. It can present as bright white flecks, or dark yellow or brown spots. Using tooth mousse intensively over a period of time can significantly improve enamel hypoplasia. Everyone can benefit from the use of tooth mousse.
