Are your teeth getting the minerals they need?

We all know that ensuring your body gets the right nutrients and minerals is essential for good health.  But what minerals do our teeth need in particular?Fluoride is the one we all know about, but there are also other beneficial minerals – calcium and phosphate. The saliva in our mouth helps provide essential minerals that strengthen your teeth and protect the enamel, but there are certain activities that cause an acid imbalance making it difficult to produce saliva and the essential protective minerals.

What’s the solution?

TOOTH MOUSSE….designed here in Australia is a topical cream, rich in calcium and phosphate. It can be used for:

• Stabilising the initial stages of decay as long as we continue to practice our daily oral hygiene routine. This includes keeping up with regular tooth-brushing and flossing, and maintaining a healthy and balanced diet”.
• Adding extra protection for newly erupting permanent/adult teeth, patients with braces and expecting mums during pregnancy (especially if morning sickness and reflux is experienced).
• Tooth mousse is derived from milk casein and therefore is perfectly safe to swallow. It is, however, not recommended for patients with a milk protein allergy.
