What is tooth mousse? Tooth mousse is a milk-based crème that contains calcium and phosphate, which are important minerals for strengthening your teeth. Some versions of tooth mousse also contain fluoride, which has been scientifically proven to prevent tooth decay. Why should I use tooth mousse? You may find tooth mousse beneficial if you suffer from sensitive teeth in general, or sensitivity after certain procedures such as teeth whitening. It is also highly recommended for pregnant mothers (or those who experience reflux) and children under 6, who are more vulnerable to acidic tooth decay. However if you have lactose intolerance or milk protein allergies, tooth mousse may not be suitable
Molar Hypomin is short for Molar Hypomineralisation which is a developmental dental defect that affects mainly the molar teeth. What does Hypomin look like? Normally, the enamel on a tooth is white and very hard, but in patients that have molar hypomin, the enamel can be chalky (creamy-yellow/brown or extra-white patches).

Unfortunately, there is still no definite cause for hypomineralisation. However, research has shown a higher risk of Molar Hypomin as a result of illness in infants that may damage the developing tooth.
