Give Your Patients Something to Smile About with GC Tooth Mousse™ & Tooth Mousse™ Plus


When it comes to preventive dental care, GC Tooth Mousse and Tooth Mousse Plus are scientifically backed solutions with over 20 years of clinical research and proven results.  

Developed to support acid neutralisation and remineralisation, these products help to prevent tooth decay, erosion, and reduce dentine hypersensitivity, making them an optimal choice for patients wanting to maintain strong, healthy teeth.

The Science of Remineralisation

Both GC Tooth Mousse and Tooth Mousse Plus harness the power of Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate RECALDENT® (CPP-ACP), derived from the milk protein casein. 

This unique complex delivers stabilised calcium and phosphate ions directly to the tooth surface, aiding in enamel remineralisation. Tooth Mousse Plus contains 900ppm fluoride, providing patients with extra protection.

Rapid Acid Neutralisation and Buffering

One of the standout benefits of GC Tooth Mousse is its ability to rapidly neutralise acids from plaque, food and drinks along with acid from reflux.

A reservoir of calcium and phosphate ions, along with the negatively charged peptide chains in CPP-ACP, react with positively charged hydrogen ions in acidic biofilm to neutralize acids and rapidly restore the biofilm and saliva to a neutral pH. For patients with dry mouth conditions or frequent acid exposure, this buffering effect stabilises oral pH, reducing the overall risk of tooth decay and erosion.

Super Saturating Saliva with Essential Minerals 

GC Tooth Mousse and Tooth Mousse Plus increases bioavailable calcium, phosphate, and fluoride (TMP) in saliva to support remineralisation at the tooth surface.

This mineral boost is especially beneficial for patients with dry mouth, often due to medication, as it keeps a steady supply of remineralising ions on the tooth surface. Fluoride in Tooth Mousse Plus goes a step further in supporting the formation of fluorapatite, a more acid-resistant mineral layer on the tooth surface.

Preventing Decay, Erosion, and Sensitivity

With a dual approach of acid buffering and increased calcium and phosphate bioavailability, plus fluoride from Tooth Mousse Plus, both Tooth Mousse and Tooth Mousse Plus strengthens and brightens enamel while preventing decay, erosion, and reducing dentine hypersensitivity. This makes them indispensable for patients seeking to maintain or enhance their dental well-being.

Effective Against White Spot Lesions

Orthodontic patients are at a higher risk of developing white spot lesions (WSLs) around brackets and bands. GC Tooth Mousse Plus with its added 900ppm fluoride is clinically proven* to prevent and reverse WSLs, offering an effective, non-invasive solution that helps patients maintain a bright, healthy smile during and after orthodontic treatment.

Patient-Friendly Flavours for Better Compliance

Patient compliance is essential for all and GC Tooth Mousse makes it easy with a variety of delicious flavours. Tooth Mousse is available in Mint, Strawberry, Vanilla, Tutti-Frutti, Melon and Milkshake, while Tooth Mousse Plus offers Strawberry, Mint, and Vanilla. Each tube provides up to 160 applications, giving patients an economical and delicious way to protect their oral health daily.

An Evidence Based Choice for Preventive Care Like No Other

GC Tooth Mousse and Tooth Mousse Plus are valuable additions to any dental care routine, providing patients with a trusted, research-backed method to prevent dental issues before they start. Encourage your patients to add this simple yet powerful step to their daily care regimen – they’ll thank you for it!

The Hidden Danger in Dental Handpieces: Maintenance Mistakes that can lead to Patient Burns

The Hidden Danger in Dental Handpieces: Maintenance Mistakes that can lead to Patient Burns
In every dental practice, handpieces are like the engines of the operatory. They work hard, move fast, and rarely get a moment of rest. Day after day, procedure after procedure, they help clinicians deliver efficient, precise care. But like any hardworking engine, when maintenance is neglected, problems do not stay hidden for long.

At first, the warning signs can be easy to miss. A slight change in sound. A little more resistance than usual. A handpiece that does not feel quite right. In a busy practice, these small signals can fade into the background noise of the day. Yet inside the handpiece, wear, debris, and heat may already be building, quietly turning a trusted instrument into a risk for both the practice and the patient.
