GC Tooth Mousse

Description

Use GC Tooth Mousse as part of a preventive plan for healthy teeth.

Tooth Mousse may help to:

• Relieve  sensitivity.
• Protect teeth from dental decay/cavities.
• 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 (pre cavitation).
• Aid in preventing tooth erosion – Learn more here
• Helps managing dry mouth.

How to use – Apply to teeth with clean finger or cotton bud and smear a pea sized blob around teeth. You can spread around with the tongue if easier. Leave undisturbed for 3-5 minutes for maximum benefit. If you have special trays e.g. retainers  or bleaching trays you can use ToothMmousse and MIpaste plus in these. Tooth Mousse works quickly, within 2-5 minutes, but the longer CPP-ACP is maintained in the mouth the more effective the result.

Spit out any excess but do not rinse off.

Water based, sugar free dental topical crème containing Recaldent™ CPP-ACP (Casein Phosphopeptide – Amorphous Calcium Phosphate)

Recaldent™ is derived from the milk protein, casein. For many years it has been known that milk and its derivatives have a tooth protective effect. Recently, research has shown that this activity is due to a part of the casein protein called Casein Phosphopeptide (or CPP), which carries calcium and phosphate ions ‘stuck’ to it, in the form of Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (or ACP). This complex of CPP-ACP (Recaldent™) is an ideal delivery system for bio-available calcium and phosphate ions.

The first product for professional use that contains Recaldent™ technology is GC Tooth Mousse. GC Tooth Mousse incorporating Recaldent™ makes an important contribution to protecting the oral environment in a wide range of situations where a mineral imbalance may arise.

Advantages
Delivers Recaldent™ (ACP-CPP) to restore mineral balance in the oral environment
Provides extra protection for teeth
Helps neutralize acid challenges from acidogenic bacteria in plaque and other internal and external acid sources
Tastes great and makes teeth feel smoother and cleaner

Indications
Restoring mineral balance in patients with salivary deficiencies such as xerostomia or when proper oral hygiene procedures are difficult
Restoring balance after procedures such as tooth whitening, professional cleaning, as well as reducing any resulting dentine hypersensitivity
Research has also shown that Recaldent™ can transform the visual opacity of new white spots to a more natural ‘tooth-like’ translucency

Action –
When GC Tooth Mousse is applied to tooth surfaces, the CPP-ACP molecule binds to biofilm, plaque, bacteria, hydroxyapatite and surrounding soft tissue localizing bio-available calcium and phosphate. Saliva enhances the effectiveness of CPP-ACP and the flavour helps stimulate saliva flow. Tooth Mousse works quickly, within 2-5 minutes, but the longer CPP-ACP is maintained in the mouth the more effective the result.

More about CCP-ACP

A casein derived peptide, with added calcium and phosphate. It provides a phosphate and calcium reservoir when included within dental plaque and on the surface of the tooth. Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) is made by combining soluble salts of calcium and phosphorous. Calcium and phosphate ions are released when the pH drops during an acid attack, to maintain supersaturated surroundings with respect to hydroxyapatite and as a result reducing demineralization and increasing remineralization. CCP-ACP has a buffering effect on the acids produced in dental plaque and therefore has applications in the control of caries (tooth decay), especially uncontrolled root caries. It can be delivered to the tooth surface in a variety of ways such as chewing gum, lozenges, topical crème, mouthrinses, toothpaste, and as an additive in glass ionomer cement restorative material.
