Tooth Mousse can guard and repair against Tooth Decay
Chocolates, chewing gums umm…….yummy now children can indulge in all sorts of chocolates and pay no heed to parental instructions and warnings, say scientists. According to a new scientific research, a new kind of tooth mousse is being developed which would not only guard against decaying of the tooth but also repairs the decayed teeth.
In The Cooperative Research Centre for Oral Heath Science (CRC-OHS), researchers from Australia and Japan have discovered a technique to use fluoride in a better and effective manner compared to the traditional forms to avoid tooth decay. This noteworthy new product has the ability to penetrate 10 times into the teeth as compared to the current fluoride treatments.
The CEO of the Cooperative Research Centre for Oral Health Science, and the Head of Dental Science at The University of Melbourne, Professor Eric Reynolds, describes Tooth Mousse Plus as a new step forward in oral health care. “Laboratory tests and clinical trials have shown Tooth Mousse Plus not only provides the highest level of fluoride protection now available for teeth, but that it can also repair existing decay damage. It’s the result of a real team effort by molecular scientists, dentists and formulation chemists.”
The treatment functions with a substance combined with fluoride which is to be then inserted in the tooth enamel. Peptide phosphate nanocomplex is known to repair tooth injuries by restoring the minerals lost through the decaying process. The University of Melbourne’s researcher developed the fluoride and nanocomplex combination and that too before it was moved to Tokyo to a lab of GC Corporation Japan-a contestant in the CRC-OHS.
As many as 60,000 patients all over the world in 50 countries benefited from this new tooth mousse treatment, which has come just 18 months back. And in Australia itself 10,000 patients have undergone this treatment.
Approximately 95 percent of all the adults around the age of 38 and above in Australia had the problem of dental decay. And around three-fourth of the Australian adults have not operated their decayed teeth and this could result in tooth loss or even some rare cases serious illness.
An esteemed prize for Excellence in Innovation has been honored to The Cooperative Research Centre for Oral Heath Science (CRC-OHS) at The University of Melbourne. This research was presented by Cooperative Research Centre Association (CRCA) at its annual symposium which has acknowledged the distinctions of Tooth Mousse Plus.

I hope the first line was just a silly hook to get peoples attention. Good nutrition with calcium, magnesium ,vit c and so on is need for good tooth formation. Burt 2007 showed when fluoridated water soda and chips were the foundation of a diet almost 100% of 5 year olds had cavities and often many. The big new again problem is baby bottle tooth with destruction of top front teeth in babies put to sleep with bottle of milk or other sugar based drinks. Anywhere past 10 months this is a huge risk and devistates kids teeth often in the poorest familys who do not know all the good parenting rules. This product could be of value as it is a topical treatment where fluoride can have value but Cavistat is closer to nature whith the same beneficial chemicals of salaiva to restore and reminerize enamel also with no risk. It has arginine and bicarbonate calcium to neutalize acid in a safe manor to a base environment for reminerization with the calcium. Bacteria present feed on the arginine to make a base environment. Just like nature does it. Lets see more research with both products. Most are now overexposued to chronic cumulative fluoride overdose from the so many sources that are hard to avoid if not impossible.
