The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic have and will continue to pose significant challenges for the dental profession. While practices have been closed, elderly and high-risk patients especially have suffered from a lack of access to dental care, putting them at increased risk of coronal caries, root surface caries and hypersensitivity.

Once exposed to the oral environment, root surfaces are at greater risk of demineralisation, especially when patients have reduced saliva flow and diminished buffering capabilities. By elevating the levels of calcium in saliva and dental plaque, topical treatments can reduce the harmful effects of plaque-derived acids and enhance remineralisation.

GC's Tooth Mousse and MI Paste Plus topical applications provide immediate relief for patients suffering from tooth sensitivity while providing a natural defence against caries. They can be applied either professionally in-practice or self-administered by patients at home and are an excellent option for non-chairside management of high-risk patients.

Tooth Mousse and MI Paste Plus with bio-available calcium and phosphate provide greater resistance to acid attacks by inhibiting enamel demineralisation and inducing remineralisation, both on the surface and sub-surface of the tooth. They reduce hypersensitivity by obturating open dentinal tubules and prevent initial caries forming due to their anti-cariogenic properties.
