What is the difference between tooth mousse and toothpaste?
Similar to toothpaste, the tooth mousse also comes in the form of a foamy cream. Due to this, many people often confuse these dental hygiene products. Remember that they have different purposes.
Toothpaste aims at eliminating microbes to keep your mouth clean. They contain mild abrasive ingredients to remove stains on teeth surfaces as well. When the cleaning agent is moistened, it produces foam that helps in removing the particles stuck between the teeth.
On the other hand, tooth mousse does not contain any abrasive agents. It helps in refreshing the enamel’s mineral contents until the cream is left on the teeth surfaces. So you don’t have to wash or rinse your mouth after using this topical cream. As it is prepared with milk protein and holds the major constituents that form our teeth, it does not cause any allergic responses. It implies that you don’t have to scare if your kid swallows tooth mousse.
How should you use tooth mousse?
Unlike toothpaste, the tooth mousse does not require a toothbrush. You can apply it using a cotton swab or your fingers. Remember that it is enough to use a pea-sized cream on your teeth surfaces. You can apply the cream on your teeth and leave it for around 30 minutes. Rinse your mouth with a cup of water if there is excess cream on your teeth.
