00:00Hi guys I'm going to be opening my latest packet from Amazon and this is my
00:06latest order of GC tooth mousse because anyone that's been following my dental
00:15journey does know that I am on an Invisalign journey. So I ordered these, I've got the
00:27strawberry, now this one, so I have shown my GC tooth mousse before and I'll show
00:33you exactly how I use it although those who are familiar with the dental
00:37playlist will have seen me using it before but um so this order I got is the
00:42strawberry flavour and I did go through a phase of ordering GC tooth mousse with
00:47the fluoride in it as well and I was sort of swapping and changing like at night
00:53I used the non fluoride one and during the day I was popping in the GC
00:57tooth mousse with fluoride but I've actually moved away from the one that
01:01contains fluoride now because I was sort of aware that I was swallowing it and I
01:06I don't think it's a great idea to swallow fluoride or at least I didn't want to be
01:10swallowing fluoride so um so basically I'm just now ordering the original one
01:16that doesn't have fluoride in it so um for people that are familiar with GC
01:21tooth mousse I do have a little bit of information here that I've got um I
01:25looked up so I'm gonna have to wear my glasses to read it I mean I sort of
01:29roughly know just from my own but you know I'll read what it properly says
01:32about it so um GC tooth mousse works by delivering calcium and phosphate the key
01:39structural building blocks of your enamel directly into your teeth so it's
01:43basically a really mineralizing thing so um what ideally your saliva does the
01:49remineralizing but if you've got dry mouth or if you're like me on an
01:53Invisalign journey um it can help basically protect your teeth and
01:57remineralize and I'll just read a little bit more about how it works it uses a
02:01milk derived protein called CPP or casein phospho peptide to bind these
02:09minerals so calcium and phosphate to the tooth surface and biofilms so this keeps
02:14the calcium and phosphate stable soluble and readily available so they can
02:19penetrate microscopic enamel surfaces repairing early decay and hardening weak
02:25areas in your teeth so so yes that's true when I or that's what I've found out
02:30as well about the GC tooth mousse that it can try and help remineralize early
02:36spots where you've lost so many minerals that it's becoming a hole basically or
02:40cavity so I was told about GC tooth mousse before I started the Invisalign journey
02:47and so I was just using it you just rub it over your teeth after brushing your
02:52teeth but once I started this Invisalign journey I then was really looking for
03:00something to protect my teeth because I am paranoid about getting cavities so I use
03:06now this GC tooth mousse in my liners I actually line my liners with it and so
03:14basically I think I did read a little bit more about it it does react with your
03:19saliva as well I think and that's sort of a chemical reaction to try and get it to
03:23bind to your teeth but fluoride I think the exact mechanisms it can somehow act as
03:30sort of a carrier or it binds the minerals better to your tooth surface or
03:35something so when you are using it with fluoride that I think is an advantage but
03:40the way I get around that is I use it after brushing my teeth and the last thing
03:44I do after brushing my teeth is I use a fluoride rinse and so my teeth are coated
03:49with fluoride and then I whack this on my teeth and also in the aligners so then
03:54I'm sort of getting the best of both worlds I think and and that's kind of
03:58easier to then spit out a couple of times after you've put the aligners in as
04:02opposed to lining the whole align up with something that contains fluoride
04:08because I think that's then going to stay in my mouth and possibly be a swallow
04:12risk for like hours afterwards so I'll show you how I basically use it so we'll
04:18open up one of these GC tooth mousse comes in different flavors you can buy this
04:23from eBay as well a lot of dental shops stock it as well I don't know pharmacy I'm
04:30sure probably pharmacies do too but I usually just order it online either I
04:34get it from Amazon or eBay so I'll just open this up so this is a brand new one
04:41and it comes in quite a few flavors actually and I put gloves on when I use
04:45my line just because I think maybe it's a bit more hygienic when I'm putting
04:49something in my mouth and I do hate wearing these aligners I will be very happy when my
04:56journey is over but anyway so um I then squeeze a little bit in so I did look up
05:03Google Gemini and I said oh you know because I was really pumping it in and I
05:08still it does still look like I am pumping it in and that's when Google
05:11Gemini said that it's a bit of a chemical reaction between saliva and this to
05:16then try and get it to bind on your teeth so it was saying that having some
05:20goopy lumpy stuff in there isn't really going to benefit your teeth really so then I
05:26just use a brush and I just kind of line the aligners with the tooth mousse and
05:31look I've been given the okay by my dentist my dentist has said that this is a
05:35good idea to be protective for my teeth while I'm wearing the aligners oh and
05:41there's another awesome ingredient in GC tooth mousse and that is xylitol and if
05:46you don't know about how xylitol can protect cavities do look it up online I
05:51think the bacteria responsible for cavities ingest the xylitol but it is
05:55deadly for the bacteria that cause decay so in that way xylitol can be
06:00protective as well against cavities so I really like that that I'm sort of using
06:06something to protect my teeth while I'm using these aligners so then I just pop it
06:12in so I'll put the bottom ones in oops and all right I hate doing this and it's
06:21gonna get rid of all my lipstick as well and then I often got white sort of on my
06:25tongue as soon as I put this on and all my lipstick gets on my gloves and and there
06:34you go so that's done and then I'll just have that mousse in the aligners pretty
06:40much whenever I wear them and when I have something to eat I'll just take the
06:44aligners out give the aligners a rinse have something to eat and then put a bit
06:48more tooth mousse back in the aligners when I pop them in my mouth but anyway
06:53that's how I use GC tooth mousse and it really has become my companion I've
06:58used it all along through my Invisalign journey and I'm on to the third plan
07:03when it comes to my Invisalign I've had two revisions I want to the third
07:07plan which is a ten week plan and I'm currently on week two of the ten week
07:13plan our week two and counting
