Tooth Mousse

What it is

GC Tooth Mousse is a water-based crème containing CPP-ACP (Recaldent), a protein complex derived from milk that delivers calcium and phosphate to the tooth surface.

Tooth Mousse or Tooth Mousse Plus?

• Tooth Mousse: calcium and phosphate, no fluoride. Suitable for adults and for children under six, when recommended by your dentist
• Tooth Mousse Plus: the same calcium and phosphate, plus fluoride (900 ppm). For adults and children over six
• Plus is usually the better choice when extra fluoride protection is wanted, such as a higher risk of decay or erosion
• Both come in several flavours, including mint, strawberry and vanilla

When I may recommend it

• Sensitivity, including during or after whitening
• Early white-spot areas of weakened enamel, such as after braces
• Dry mouth, or a higher risk of decay or erosion

How to use it

• Brush your teeth first
• Apply a pea-sized amount with a clean finger or in your trays, and spread it over the teeth
• Leave it on for at least three minutes, then spread the rest around with your tongue
• Don’t rinse, eat or drink for 30 minutes; last thing at night works best

Who should not use it

• Anyone with a milk-protein allergy must not use Tooth Mousse or Tooth Mousse Plus (lactose intolerance alone is not a problem)
• Tooth Mousse Plus is not for children under six because of its fluoride
