What is Tooth Mousse, and Why Haven’t You Heard of It in Wagga Wagga?
Tooth Mousse is a creamy dental product that’s applied to your teeth, often at home, to help strengthen and protect your enamel. Its magic ingredient is something called CPP-ACP—short for Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate. Put simply, this ingredient comes from milk proteins and carries a ready-to-go bundle of calcium and phosphate, the two essential minerals that make up strong enamel. When your teeth are exposed to acid from food, drinks, or bacteria, they can lose these minerals—a process called demineralisation. Over time, this weakens the enamel and increases your risk of sensitivity, cavities, and erosion.
