Here at Teaching Teeth we LOVE Tooth Mousse!

PRODUCT WE RECOMMEND TO OUR PATIENTS 🦷👀 Tooth Mousse is a tooth creme that we like to compare to a hair mask! You can use it 1-2 times a week as an adjunct to your oral hygiene routine. Tooth Mousse is a product that combines calcium and phosphate that protects your teeth from acid attack (both acid from decay and diet/environment). Tooth Mousse PLUS also has 900ppm fluoride. We recommend Tooth Mousse (fluoride free) for people who want a fluoride free alternative and for children younger than 6 who need extra protection for their teeth if they have high decay rates/possibility. We also recommend this product a lot for pregnant women! Why..? Because it is important to protect your teeth from acid such as reflux (morning sickness) or those sugary cravings.. If you are someone who experiences toothpaste/brushing aversions this is also a product we would recommend trying as it actually taste delicious! And let’s not forget those who are just generally exhausted and the thought of getting out of bed to brush your teeth is a nightmare… How to use it? Rub a pea size amount of the creme on to your teeth and try to leave it on for 10-15 minutes without rinsing with any water. You can find it at Woolworths and most chemist.
