Method of using remineralizing agents
A mouthguard helps.
Since the active substance is applied to the inside of the onlay and fits tightly to the teeth after it is installed, a remineralization tray is considered the most effective way to carry out the procedure. The only nuance is that you first need to purchase to order or make at home (there are such options) your own individual set of onlays for the teeth. It is recommended for an adult to wear a mouthguard with a medicinal composition on the teeth for no more than 30 minutes. After the procedure, it is better not to eat or drink for another half hour.
Without the help of a mouthguard.
If there are no individual pads, a regular toothbrush, brush or applicator from the kit will help. Remineralization gel, mousse or cream is usually applied after brushing the teeth and should remain on the enamel surface for up to 1 hour. After the procedure, in most cases there is no need to rinse your mouth with water.
At a young age, special attention should be paid to the condition of the enamel, since the enamel of newly erupted teeth is not sufficiently saturated with minerals and is therefore easily damaged by acids.
It is necessary to consult a dentist during the period of changing teeth. The specialist will select a suitable product for home care of the child’s teeth and prescribe a series of professional procedures.
When should you see a doctor?
- increased sensitivity of teeth,
- pain when brushing teeth, eating solid foods,
- acute discomfort due to exposure to any irritants - hot, cold or spicy food,
- uneven enamel surface - the presence of chips, cracks, roughness and even depressions,
- discoloration of enamel - when it becomes thinner, dark dentin shows through,
- congenital or acquired enamel hypoplasia.
Strengthening teeth: 5 reliable methods
Expert opinion
Elina Ruslanovna Dzagurova Dentist-therapist Work experience 10+
“Our center practices an integrated approach, because it is the combination of several techniques that can significantly reduce tooth sensitivity and strengthen tooth enamel. The patient himself needs to do a lot of work – be sure to monitor his diet and use the right hygiene products.”
Enamel remineralization
Remineralization of teeth is the restoration of the mineral composition of tooth enamel, for which special medicinal compositions are used. They are applied to the teeth (including using mouth guards) and held for several minutes. A number of drugs are activated by exposure to ultraviolet light or electrophoresis (electrical pulses). The course of such treatment and prophylactic procedures can last from 3-4 to 20 days. Before they are performed, careful removal of plaque and tartar is required.
For remineralization, Apadent Pro paste with nano-hydroxyapatite is considered one of the most effective preparations, which allows you to restore the structure of teeth in the presence of foci of demineralization, including superficial caries.
Fluoridation of enamel
Fluoridation differs from remineralization only in the composition of medicinal preparations. In this case, gels and ointments are also used, which are applied to the outer surface of the teeth. However, most of their composition is occupied by fluorine and calcium, which significantly strengthen the enamel, making it stronger and more resistant to external influences.
Proper hygiene
The patient himself needs to more carefully monitor his oral hygiene and be sure to change his dental care products. The general rules are that the brush should not be too hard (during the period of exacerbation, you can change it to a soft one, but not for long - it will not cope with plaque). When brushing your teeth, do not put too much pressure on your teeth - this leads to trauma to the enamel.
During the period of weakening of the enamel, you should choose special pastes that reduce tooth sensitivity. However, you do not need to use them constantly - 1-2 times a year for a month.
Proper nutrition
The process of remineralization of enamel can be carried out at home - all you need to do is change your diet. Milk and fermented milk products (cheese, yogurt, kefir), greens, strawberries (contain a large amount of vitamin C), green tea will be useful. You should consume as many foods as possible that contain calcium1 - it helps strengthen tooth enamel.
You can take calcium in the form of medications 1-2 times a year. However, do not forget about the simultaneous intake of vitamin D, which promotes the absorption of calcium and fluoride in our body.
Dental restoration
Dental restoration is an extreme measure that is used in case of hypoplasia or destruction of tooth enamel, because the internal tissues of the tooth may be exposed. In this case, it is extremely necessary to protect them from external irritants. The most reliable option would be to install veneers and lumineers - thin overlays on the front surface of the teeth, which allow you to change the shade, align the position of the teeth, transform their appearance and, of course, protect the enamel from negative external influences.
Choosing the appropriate method for strengthening enamel
When wondering which method to choose, don’t make the decision on your own. Home methods for remineralizing tooth enamel are effective only at the initial stage of enamel destruction. If demineralization has affected the deep layers, then only professional help from a dentist can stop the process. Therefore, it is better to seek the advice of a specialist before purchasing a specific enamel strengthening product.
In addition, in some cases, the dentist may recommend complex therapy: a combination of home dental care with remineralization in the clinic. In this case, the doctor will select for you both suitable products for independent use and professional procedures.
Restoring the mineral composition of teeth is the first and very important step to oral health. It is important to notice the problem in time and contact a specialist, then it will be possible to choose the right course of treatment, stop the carious process, reduce the sensitivity of the teeth and protect them from destruction.

Action
Active ions are formed from calcium glycerophosphate under the influence of saliva and easily penetrate into tooth tissue. Bioavailable calcium, phosphorus and magnesium compounds strengthen enamel. A thin invisible film of gel lingers on the teeth for a long time, which ensures long-term, gradual penetration of the active components into the tooth tissue. Xylitol increases the remineralizing potential of the complex, and also suppresses the activity of bacteria that cause caries and gum disease.
Recommendations for use
Before applying the gel, brush your teeth thoroughly using a toothbrush and ROCS® for adults or ROCS® for children fluoride-free toothpaste. Apply the gel to the brush and distribute evenly over the teeth. Do not rinse and refrain from eating or drinking for 40-50 minutes.

Liquid tooth enamel
All recommendations for stabilizing the situation in the mouth usually come down to improving oral hygiene, proper brushing of teeth, and reviewing diet and drinking habits.
Some dentists also recommend regular visits to the doctor. But dentistry does not stand still, and the latest achievements in this area have materialized in Tooth Mousse - a special cream (gel) for teeth, which contains Recaldent, which actively “helps” in restoring mineral balance. Recaldent is an extract from cow's milk casein. The beneficial properties of cow's milk and fermented milk products have been known for a long time. Dentists have noticed the protective function they perform. The Recaldent complex in an amorphous state contains calcium and phosphorus ions in sufficient quantities.
How does dental gel work?
The gel, entering the oral cavity, begins to affect the enamel, soft tissues and even plaque. Calcium and phosphorus ions get exactly where they are missing - into the enamel - and restore what is lost. That is why Recaldent was called “liquid enamel” .
In addition, Recaldent also performs a preventive function, preventing harmful bacteria from taking root in the mouth. The gel restores the balance of fluoride in the oral cavity.
Tooth Mousse can be called the first truly professional product developed by specialists using Recaldent technology.
The use of this gel has a beneficial effect on the oral cavity; Tooth Mousse interacts with saliva and multiplies its positive effects, that is, it gives the enamel the required amount of calcium and phosphorus ions, thereby normalizing the mineral balance.
Tests have shown that Tooth Mousse gel has no side effects. The only category of people who should be careful with Tooth Mousse are patients with allergies to milk proteins. The taste of Tooth Mousse is quite acceptable, and after applying the gel, your teeth become clean and smooth.
The gel was first tested in 2002 in Australia, and after that it became very popular among dentists. This product is most often prescribed as an application cream, and over time the list of indications for using Tooth Mousse has become even longer.
