Tooth Mousse (Tooth Mousse) - how to use the gel correctly, reviews

Why are dental remineralizing agents needed?

When increased sensitivity of the enamel appears, teeth begin to react sharply to temperature, acid and mechanical factors. In such cases, a diagnosis of hyperesthesia is usually made. But this phenomenon is quite common, usually associated with demineralization of the enamel layer, that is, a lack of necessary microelements. The protective layer of teeth weakens and becomes too susceptible to external influences; over time, it may darken and begin to crumble.

The drug is used for tooth sensitivity

The reason may be hormonal changes during pregnancy, some kind of systemic disease, insufficient oral hygiene or aggressive influence, for example, this is often observed after professional whitening and bite correction with braces. Remineralizing agents are designed to replenish the mineral composition of the enamel, strengthen it and provide reliable protection against thinning and destruction. One such product is Tooth Mousse dental gel.

Why are remineralizing agents needed?

If a person’s teeth become hypersensitive, it means that he had to face the problem of demineralization, i.e. loss of essential microelements by teeth. Dentin owes its strength primarily to three essential elements: calcium, phosphorus and fluoride. Normally, tooth enamel consists of 98% microelements and is the hardest tissue of the human body. However, due to various problems in the body (diseases, pregnancy, poor oral hygiene, whitening procedures, etc.), teeth often lose their former strength and begin to react to sweets, hot or cold.

The arsenal of remineralizing (restoring mineral composition) preparations includes many mousses, pastes and gels. One of the representatives of this series of products is Tooth Mousse gel, which dentists often recommend as a super product that can restore teeth to their former strength.

Composition and principle of action - advantages of the drug

"Tus Mus" is a water-based paste. It contains phosphates and calcium, which are fully absorbed by the enamel. The active components neutralize increased acidity in the oral cavity, that is, they normalize the acid-base balance and block the activity of pathogenic microorganisms in plaque, thereby protecting dental tissues from destruction1. Today, the market for hygiene products offers a wide variety of all kinds of pastes, gels and mousses with a remineralizing effect. But Tooth Mousse has a number of obvious advantages, and here are the main ones:

normalization of pH levels in the oral cavity,
the ability to choose a pleasant flavor shade,
no age restrictions - the drug is suitable for children, adults and the elderly,
availability for use during pregnancy and lactation,
pronounced remineralizing and strengthening properties,
absence of discomfort and unpleasant sensations during use,
absolute safety even in case of accidental ingestion of a small amount of the product,
ensuring comprehensive prevention of dental diseases,
prevention of caries and erosive damage to enamel,
the admissibility of the simultaneous use of fluorine-containing formulations due to the absence of fluorides in the composition.

The active ingredients neutralize increased acidity in the oral cavity.
It is important to understand that Tus Mus gel cannot be a complete replacement for toothpaste. Its use must be combined with standard daily brushing of teeth in the morning and evening.

Reviews

On the Internet you can find many reviews about the use of this tool.

Veronica, 32 years old

I bought tooth mousse gel for my youngest son. Already at the age of 2 he started having problems with his teeth, although I don’t give sweets to children. I smeared his teeth after brushing, although the baby was unable to withstand the gel according to the instructions. However, my son’s teeth have really gotten better. The disadvantage of this product is that it is too expensive.

Olga, 28 years old

I bought tooth mousse paste on the advice of my dentist. After pregnancy, dark spots appeared on the enamel, which even ultrasound did not remove. I was skeptical about the prescription of the cream, but I bought it. I smeared my teeth with my finger morning and evening. It’s surprising that the teeth actually turned white and stopped reacting to hot and cold.

Oleg, 39 years old

I had incredibly sensitive teeth. I was amazed that already on the second day of use the sensitivity decreased, and on the third it stopped. The effect of the gel also pleased my wife. The teeth became harder and stopped crumbling. The downside is that I drool heavily when using it.

Natalya, 22 years old

I didn't like the vaunted Tooth Mousse at all. I tried to use it during pregnancy, but gave up: every time I burned my tongue and lips from the inside. Then for 3 days I felt like my mouth was scalded with boiling water.

Tooth Mousse gel is a professional dental restoration product with a minimum of contraindications, which is easy to use on your own. Its huge advantage is the ability of the gel to quickly eliminate tooth sensitivity and fight caries in the early stages.

On the Internet, Tooth Mousse gel has the maximum number of positive reviews from patients whom it really helped. It is important that this product can be used by people, regardless of their age. Take care of your teeth!

“I once bought Tus Mus paste, my dental hygienist recommended it to me. This was after pregnancy, the enamel darkened a little and became sensitive. Then I noticed brownish spots on some of my teeth. I was prescribed ultrasonic cleaning and this product was recommended. I simply applied it with my finger, morning and evening. It was a pleasant surprise when my teeth actually became lighter and stopped reacting to hot tea. I didn’t expect much from this pasta, but it pleasantly pleased me.”
Marina, from correspondence on the woman.ru forum

How to use the gel correctly - instructions

According to the instructions for use, the mousse should be applied daily, every time after meals. It is better to use it at least three times a day, always in the morning and before bed. Before using the product, you should brush your teeth with a brush and toothpaste. As for how exactly to use gels, there are two options – let’s look at each in more detail.

Applications using a mouthguard

The first method involves the use of an individual mouth guard - its production can be ordered at a dental clinic. The scheme for using the product is as follows:

First you need to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth. The mouth guard also needs to be rinsed under running water.
a small amount of mousse should be squeezed inside the mouth guard so that the composition fills all its insides,
after this, the mouthguard must be put on the dentition and left there for literally 2-3 minutes,
After this time, the lining can be removed, and the remaining gel on the gums can be distributed over the surface of the teeth. After this, you need to keep your mouth open for a few more minutes. Saliva should not be spit or swallowed,
At the end of the procedure, you can spit out the saliva, but you should not rinse your mouth. You will have to give up food and drink for half an hour.

The product can be applied to the mouth guard.
After removing the mouth guard, it should be thoroughly rinsed in water and dried. As mentioned above, it is recommended to repeat the procedure 3 times a day.

Direct application method

The second method involves applying the gel without the help of outside agents. The procedure is performed according to the following scheme:

teeth should be brushed and lightly dried with a clean napkin,
Squeeze out a small ball of paste from the tube and spread it over the teeth with a clean, dry finger or cotton swab. To treat hard-to-reach places, you can use a brush,
Then you need to keep your mouth slightly open for about 2-3 minutes.

With this method, the drug is applied with clean, dry fingers.
As in the previous case, after the procedure it is enough to simply spit. But you should not eat, drink, brush your teeth or rinse your mouth for another half hour, otherwise this will negatively affect the therapeutic properties of the drug. At the same time, the children's version of using the product is absolutely identical to the instructions described above.

Basic Precautions

Despite the fact that Tus Mus is a high-quality and safe product for teeth, experts strongly recommend taking certain precautions. The following are the main warnings:

close the tube tightly each time after using the product, otherwise it may deteriorate,
If the drug gets into your eyes, quickly rinse them with plenty of water. If necessary, consult an ophthalmologist,
if an allergic reaction occurs, immediately stop using the composition and consult a doctor,
If the mousse gets on your clothes, wash it off with water immediately, otherwise the stain will be difficult to remove later.

It is better to store the drug in a dry place, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Optimal temperature conditions are from 8 to 25 °C. Shelf life – 2 years. A large number of positive reviews about Tooth Mousse indicate its high effectiveness and safety. The drug is suitable for people of any age and has a minimum number of contraindications. However, before you start using the product, you should consult your dentist.
