The GC Tooth Mousse is a topical oral health product that contains calcium and phosphate, which helps in the remineralization of the tooth.
It was first formed by Melbourne Dental School, University of Melbourne. Tooth Mousse contains the milk protein casein along with the minerals calcium and phosphate which are also very important parts of the tooth itself.
Tooth Mousse is not a toothpaste but is an oral health product that is mainly applied to the demineralized tooth to remineralize it again. A dental consultation before you start using the Tooth Mousse is very important.
Key Points
What Does Tooth Mousse Do?
Tooth Mousse helps in the remineralization of your lost tooth structure. It is a remineralizing sugar-free dental topical cream, containing bio-available calcium and phosphate. It contains a complex of CPP-ACP (Recaldent™), which is the ideal delivery system for bio-available calcium and phosphate ions.
CPP-ACP is a special milk-derived protein that can help replace lost minerals in the teeth. This makes the teeth stronger and helps protect them from decay and erosion. It delivers bio-available calcium and phosphate when your saliva is acidically-challenged by the normal digestive process. So, in cases of mild demineralization of the tooth, tooth mousse can help.

How To Use Tooth Mousse?
Tooth Mousse is very easy to use. Use tooth mousse after you have brushed and flossed your teeth.
- Take a Pea size tooth mousse on your clean finger.
- Apply it over all your teeth with your finger and spread it with your tongue. For the areas like in between the teeth where you can not reach, use an interproximal brush or floss coated with tooth mousse.
- Leave it over the surface of the teeth for 3 minutes. Do not spit or swallow. The more time the tooth mousse will be in contact with the teeth, the better will be the results.
- Spit out any excess but do not rinse, drink or eat for the next 30 minutes.

Can Tooth Mousse Be Used In Kids?
Tooth Mousse can be used in children the same way it is used in adults.

Apply a pea size tooth mousse on the child’s teeth only for kids above the age of 3 years. There is no harm if the mousse is swallowed as it is made up of milk products.
