Recaldent Tooth Mousse Plus
This stronger Mousse is recommended at night when a patient has marked salivary dysfunction (dry mouth), for example, because of medications, systemic illnesses, or salivary gland disease, because of enhanced risk of mineral loss from dental caries or erosion of teeth. These patients would also benefit from daytime applications of GC Dry Mouth Gel to gain symptomatic relief for oral dryness. Patients should be at least six years of age before using Tooth Mousse Plus.

Under this age children should only use the Original Tooth Mousse because of fluoride ingestion. The unique CPP-ACP (amorphous calcium phosphate and fluoride) complexes in Tooth Mousse Plus werre developed at the University of Melbourne Scholl of Dental Science.

What About Pregnant Mothers. There are no proven dental or general health benefits or risks from pre-natal fluoride containing products. Fluoride supplements are not indicated in pregnancy, however Tooth Mousse Plus can be used as a topical treatment in high caries risk pregnant women or in situations where reflux is causing dental erosion and dentinal hypersensitivity.

How to Apply It. Just like Tooth Mousse, Tooth Mousse Plus is applied toically to at-risk surfaces. This can be done by first cleaning the teeth and then smearing a small amount of Tooth Mousse Plus across the tooth surfaces with a clean finger or cotton-tipped applicator. When applied immediately before bed, the material is then left in place, to dissolve slowly overnight. It is not rinsed out. Tooth Mousse Plus can also be applied topically to teeth using a custom -made tray such as a bleach guard made for a whitening gel.
