GC Tooth Mousse Mint

Product Information

Given that oral health care advice is a key part of the dental service for patients it is important to consider the evidence for the effectiveness of our preventive activities. We want to be confident we can maintain good oral health and reduce the risk of caries.

A short, sharp pain from the tooth in response to being exposed to hot and cold, or sometimes to sweet and spicy foods. Sometimes the sensitivity also occurs when the tooth is touched, e.g. when brushing the teeth. What causes tooth sensitivity? Altenburger MJ, Gmeiner B, Hellwig E, Wrbas KT, Schirrmeister JF. The evaluation of fluorescence changes after application of casein phosphopeptides (CPP) and amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) on early carious lesions. Am J Dent. 2010;23(4):188–92.

Drug Interactions

Sensodyne is known for its sensitivity toothpastes, but they use two different active ingredients: stannous fluoride or potassium nitrate. I have included Sensodyne Daily Care here as it is one of the cheapest potassium nitrate containing toothpastes. CPP-ACP was developed at the School of Dental Science at the University of Melbourne Victoria/ Australia. Recaldent™ is a trade mark used under license. Recaldent™ (CPP-ACP) is derived from milk casein. Do not use on patients with a milk protein and/ or hydroxybenzoates allergy. Damage at the gum line caused by over brushing. This can cause both gum recession to expose the dentin and also wears away the enamel on the tooth surface, to expose dentin. Al Mulla AH, Kharsa SA, Kjellberg H, Birkhed D.

Clinical trials and laboratory studies from around the world have shown that GC Tooth Mousse Plus ® (TMP) is effective in protecting teeth from tooth decay and erosion, buffering dental plaque pH, remineralising white spot lesions and reducing dentine hypersensitivity. However, no other study has assessed the experiences of oral health, before, during and after individuals becoming regular users of TMP. The aim of this study was to identify how participants’ oral health status changed after introducing TMP into their oral hygiene routine. Methods A broad search of the literature was carried out in December 2013 that identified 7576 articles of which the majority were duplicates. Once these duplicates were removed and the remainder limited to those where CPP-ACP was the primary focus and published in English, 172 articles were identified for closer inspection. The PREMEDLINE search identified one additional paper. Of the 173 articles, the inclusion and exclusion criteria in Table 1 were applied which led to 28 articles being excluded immediately as they were review articles, case reports or letters to the editor. Our data show that the tooth mousse containing CPP-ACP reduces biofilm formation of the cariogenic bacterium S. mutans without killing the bacteria. The use of natural substances which inhibit biofilm development without killing the bacteria, has therapeutic benefits, especially in orthodontic pediatric patients. During a qualitative interview, it is crucial to give participants the opportunity to tell their story in their own words. The questions asked should delve into the study aim and be tailored to the participants’ experience [ 27]. As previously reported, interview’s questions were adapted from a previous study [ 9] to include this study’s aims and participants’ experiences. Although researchers took care to maintain quality and rigor during such process, one may presume that certain questions could be considered leading to responses. For example, the following question may be considered a leading question… So, once you knew about GC Tooth Mousse Plus, what difference did it make for you? Nevertheless, this question was included in our interview script because of the well-established effectiveness of the product in the dental literature. In addition, this question resulted in important data generation which the researchers had not anticipated (e.g. data shown on Tables 6, 7, 8 and 9).Dental treatment: Tooth whitening can cause temporary sensitivity. Professional cleaning and fillings can also lead to sensitivity. It would be so much easier if you could buy it at a chemist (ID12, female, 55–64 years old, Sjogren's syndrome).
