WHAT IS TOOTH MOUSSE? HOW DOES IT WORK?Tooth Mousse - Tooth Decay The Sensitivity Protection System includes Recaldent (CPP-ACP), which is made from natural protein derived from milk. Recaldent (CPP-ACP) works in two ways It functions as a source of Calcium and Phosphate and also provides a solvent structure to distribute effective minerals to the tooth surface.
WHAT DOES TOOTH MOUSSE HELP?
- If you suffer from tooth sensitivity.
- Immediately after Teeth Whitening
- After teeth cleaning and polishing
- If you suffer from dry mouth, this may be due to side effects of medications.
- If you are affected by high water loss that occurs when working outdoors or doing sports.
- If you are using braces or brackets for orthodontic treatment or if your wires and brackets have just been removed
- If you are pregnant and the acid level in the oral environment is higher than normal
- If your baby's new teeth are emerging and require protection against cavities
Use After Teeth Whitening:Although good aesthetic results are obtained as a result of tooth whitening applications, dentin tubules opening and dehydration in the dental tissue are frequently encountered. These open tubules may cause movement of dentinal fluid and stimulation of odontoblasts, resulting in clinical sensitivity. Tooth Mousse quickly reduces sensitivity by binding calcium and phosphate ions on these open tubules. Tooth Mousse can be used to restore intraoral mineral balance and reduce dentin sensitivity after procedures such as teeth whitening, scaling, root cleaning and curettage. Immediately after the office whitening application, Tooth Mousse is applied to the patient's teeth for 3 minutes. is expected and the patient is told not to rinse his mouth. (Swallowing Tooth Mousse is not harmful) The patient is told not to eat or drink anything for 30 minutes and is given Tooth Mousse to be used at home. After brushing the teeth with a fluoride toothpaste at home, Tooth Mousse is used twice a day for 15 days, providing a brighter and more vibrant appearance on the teeth.
Use in Children:?Early Childhood Period? in children. In the treatment of caries or initial enamel caries In addition to professional dentistry applications such as topical Fluor applications and fissure sealants, Tooth Mousse may be recommended for use at home. Brushing your teeth with fluoride toothpaste twice a day (500 ppm) and applying Tooth Mousse on your teeth before going to bed at night helps stop the initial caries and even reverse them.
Use on Emerging Teeth:When teeth first appear in the oral environment, they are not sufficiently resistant to acid attacks because their enamel saturation is not complete. The high amount of calcium and phosphate in saliva increases the saturation of the tooth and replaces any mineral loss that may occur. Due to their age, it is very difficult to provide oral care such as brushing teeth in young children. During this period, Tooth Mousse obtained from cow's milk is an ideal method for protecting milk teeth. Tooth Mousse is a reliable agent that is recommended for use especially in children under 2 years of age (as it does not contain Fluor). Applying it to the teeth with a clean finger twice a day helps prevent tooth decay. In addition, various flavors added to Tooth Mousse for sweetening purposes ensure that children enjoy using this product.
Use in Pregnant Women:During pregnancy, the buffering capacity of saliva decreases due to hormonal changes. In addition to this situation, nausea and reflux problems cause the pH in the mouth to decrease and an acidic environment to form. All these factors increase the risk of tooth decay during pregnancy. Regular use of Tooth Mousse will increase the buffering capacity of saliva and protect teeth from both erosion and caries formation. In addition to these features Tooth Mousse, Str. Since it prevents mutans from multiplying and adhering to bacterial plaque, it will also reduce oral bacterial transfer to the newborn baby after birth. Brushing teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and then applying Tooth Mousse once or twice a day may be recommended for pregnant patients.
In the Treatment of Root Surface Openings:Exposed root surfaces due to gingival recession due to various reasons are risky areas for root surface caries. Thanks to regular use of Tooth Mousse, calcium and phosphate ions are deposited on the exposed root surface, thus increasing the buffering capacity of saliva. After brushing the teeth with a fluoride toothpaste before going to bed at night, applying Tooth Mousse with fingers to the exposed root surface prevents dentin sensitivity and the formation of root caries.
Use in Erosion Treatment:Erosion is wear on the teeth that usually occurs due to the oral environment being acidic for various reasons. This may be due to either nutrition (acidic drinks) or problems such as reflux. In these patients, the buffering capacity of saliva has decreased and wear has begun on the teeth due to loss of Calcium and Phosphate. In addition to tooth brushing, the buffering capacity of saliva can be increased by using Tooth Mousse for 4 weeks and changing daily eating habits.
For People Requiring Special Attention:Diffuse white rot lesions can be observed in patients with chronic conditions or those who have undergone chemotherapy. Oral ulcerations that may occur in the mouth due to chemotherapy may prevent the patient from brushing his teeth. In addition, some medications used may increase the likelihood of tooth decay in these people. Using fluoride toothpaste 2-3 times a day, using chlorhexidine mouthwash and applying Tooth Mousse twice a day prevents the formation of tooth decay and reduces the pain of oral ulcerations during chemotherapy treatment. It is very difficult to maintain ideal oral hygiene in disabled individuals due to various physical and mental problems. In addition, in cases where saliva constantly flows from the corner of the mouth, such as cerebral palsy, the buffering capacity of saliva decreases and a risky environment for caries is created. Applying Tooth Mousse with fingers on the teeth of disabled people after brushing their teeth is a very effective method of protecting against tooth decay.
Use in Orthodontic Patients:Fixed and removable orthodontic appliances are ideal areas for bacterial plaque retention. Generally, when the brackets are removed from the mouth at the end of orthodontic treatment, white carious lesions can be seen under and around the brackets. Recommending the use of Tooth Mousse to patients in addition to general oral care (brushing teeth, mouthwash, etc.) during orthodontic treatment It prevents the formation of caries by increasing the buffering capacity of saliva. At the end of orthodontic treatment (orthodontic debanding), composite residues used to bond the brackets may remain on the teeth. These residues negatively affect the reflection of the enamel, causing the teeth to appear duller. These residues can be seen more clearly by applying acid on the teeth for 10-15 seconds. After polishing the tooth surface, acid is applied again for 10-15 seconds and it is checked whether there is any residue left. If there are no composite residues left on the teeth, Tooth Mousse is applied to the entire surface to provide a brighter appearance on the teeth. Tooth Mousse is given to the patient for home use and it is recommended to use it once a day before going to bed for 3 weeks.
Xerostomia:In cases where saliva flow is insufficient as a result of various chronic diseases, Tooth Mousse can be used to restore the patient's intraoral mineral balance. In addition to daily tooth brushing The use of Tooth Mousse twice a day, chlorhexidine gel application once a week and Fluor varnish applications increase the buffering capacity of the patient's saliva and reduce complications related to dry mouth.
HOW TO USE?Using a finger, a pea-sized amount is taken from the tube and applied to the soft tissue on the tooth surface. It is absorbed by the tooth within two minutes. The mouth should never be rinsed or washed. You should not eat or drink anything for 30 minutes. It should not be used on average twice a day. It is especially recommended to apply it before going to bed at night. If you are in the process of orthodontic treatment, apply Tooth Mousse around wires and brackets.
HOW FREQUENTLY SHOULD IT BE USED?Frequency of use should be consulted with the physician, but in most cases it can be applied after brushing your teeth in the morning and evening. If you want to use it after whitening, apply it after each whitening session. If you are in the process of orthodontic treatment, we recommend that you apply it twice a day. If you constantly feel dry mouth, you can apply it more frequently.
SHOULD I CONTINUE USING TOOTH MOUSSE AFTER WHITENING?Immediately after whitening, teeth may look or feel dry. At the same time, sensitivity may be observed. For this reason, it is recommended to apply for one week after the whitening process is completed.
IS IT SAFE TO SWALLOW TOOTH MOUSSE?Yes. The main active ingredient of Tooth Mousse is obtained from the milk protein casein. Other
Dairy products, like cheese and milk, are safe. However, it should not be used in patients who are allergic to milk protein. It can be used in patients with lactose allergy.
IS IT NEEDED TO WASH?No. It will be beneficial to keep it on the tooth surface as much as possible.
DOES TOOTH MOUSSE CONTAIN FLUORIDE?No. If you need fluoride treatment, you can use it together with a separate fluoride treatment.
