Tooth Mousse is a Topical Creme with readily available Calcium and Phosphate. For use by or under the supervision of a dental professional in the recommended indications.
Description
Tooth Mousse is a water based creme containing Recaldent®* (CPP-ACP: Casein Phosphopeptide - Amorphous Calcium Phosphate). When CPP-ACP is applied in the oral environment, it will bind to biofilms, plaque, bacteria, hydroxyapatite and soft tissue localising readily available calcium and phosphate. Tooth Mousse is lactose free.
Important:
Saliva will enhance the effectiveness of CPP-ACP and the flavour will help stimulate saliva flow. The longer CPP-ACP and saliva are maintained in the mouth, the more effective the result.
A topical paste containing bio-available calcium and phosphate
1. Provides extra protection for teeth.

3. Helps neutralize acid challenges from other internal and external acid sources.

Day time application after tooth brushing as recommended by a dental professional
1. Apply a sufficient amount of Tooth Mousse to upper and lower teeth. A pea size amount for each arch is the minimum required. The material should be applied to the tooth surfaces using a clean dry finger or cotton tip. For difficult areas (between the teeth) use an Interproximal Tooth Cleaning Brush or dental floss coated with Tooth Mousse.
2. Leave Tooth Mousse on the teeth undisturbed for a minimum of 3 minutes.
3. Then use your tongue to spread the remaining Tooth Mousse throughout the mouth. Hold in the mouth for as long as possible (a further 1 - 2 minutes) avoiding expectoration (spitting out) and delaying swallowing. The longer Tooth Mousse and saliva are maintained in the mouth, the more effective the result.
4. Expectorate thoroughly and if possible avoid rinsing. Any Tooth Mousse remaining on the surface can be left to gradually dissipate. Do not to eat or drink for 30 minutes following application.
