Toothpaste aims at eliminating microbes to keep your mouth clean. They contain mild abrasive ingredients to remove stains on teeth surfaces as well. When the cleaning agent is moistened, it produces foam that helps in removing the particles stuck between the teeth.
On the other hand, tooth mousse does not contain any abrasive agents. It helps in refreshing the enamel’s mineral contents until the cream is left on the teeth surfaces. So you don’t have to wash or rinse your mouth after using this topical cream. As it is prepared with milk protein and holds the major constituents that form our teeth, it does not cause any allergic responses.
