Remineralizing gel for teeth for children. Which is better, reviews. Rocks, Tooth Mousse, Global White

In dental practice, for dental care, prevention and treatment of diseases of the jaw rows, they use special remineralizing gel. The product does not contain abrasive inclusions and does not damage the enamel coating. Such formulations reduce the sensitivity of dentinal tissues to external stimuli.

Signs of enamel demineralization, for which remineralization is needed

The hard shell of the teeth, which is 97% composed of inorganic compounds, has a thickness of up to 1.5 mm and performs a protective function. Violation of the mineral balance of the elements of the jaw mechanism leads to a change in the structure of the fibers and reduces chewing ability.

The surface layer of dental elements acquires a loose consistency and loses a significant part of its protective capabilities. This pathological process is called demineralization. It is a common cause of dental disease and increases the likelihood of bacterial and fungal infections.

Remineralizing gel for teeth is a therapeutic and prophylactic agent with hygienic properties that restores the integrity of the enamel coating and normal histological structure. The healthy shell of the teeth has a milky white shade without pigmentation and dark inclusions.

Remineralization, in addition to reducing the sensitivity of the elements of the jaw row to external factors, is needed to prevent numerous dental pathologies accompanied by severe pain and destruction teeth. Signs of mineral imbalance are diagnosed by the dentist during the initial examination.

Such a pathological condition can be noticed independently by typical and tangible clinical symptoms.

Obvious signs of demineralization:

• the appearance of areas of a different shade on the surface of the teeth;
• the formation of punctate pigmentation, streaks and dark spots;
• loss of healthy shine to the enamel;
• increased sensitivity of the jaw elements to temperature effects;
• acute, sharp, painful and short-term reaction to hard, sour, sweet foods.

Such negative effects are associated with a change in the morphological and physiological characteristics of the enamel coating due to a violation of the mineral balance.

Indications for the use of remineralizing gel

For preventive and hygienic purposes, drugs of this pharmacological category can be used for children from 6 years old. The product strengthens the tooth enamel and prevents the development of caries. For adults, a remineralizing gel is applied after first removing plaque and hard deposits.

The procedure is indicated during pregnancy, breastfeeding, patients with severe anomalies of the jaw rows.

For therapeutic purposes, the agent is used for:

• noticeable destruction of the enamel coating;
• any stages of caries;
• congenital hypoplasia;
• fluorosis - a chronic disease of the oral cavity that develops before and after eruption teeth in children, with prolonged use of drinks and foods saturated with fluoride connections;
• xerostomia;
• erosive lesion.

Remineralizing gel is used as a prophylactic agent in case of increased sensitivity of the jaw elements to external stimuli, after a professional whitening procedure.

The composition is applied when installing orthodontic structures. Remineralization is indicated for children during the period of growing up, when they are not yet able to independently take good care of the dental cavity and jaw apparatus.

The composition is used to improve the aesthetic characteristics of teeth, with mechanical damage enamel layer and dentin tissues, to restore healthy microflora and suppress pathogenic bacteria.

The tool protects the jaw elements from the aggressive effects of acids, alkalis and other chemicals. Remiineralizing drugs restore the pH of the oral cavity, so they are recommended for patients with impaired pH.

Contraindications

Dental manipulation is non-invasive and considered completely safe. There are no absolute contraindications to its implementation. Remineralization is not performed only in children under 6 years of age and in patients with individual intolerance to the components of the medicinal composition.

In case of hypersensitivity to the active substances of the drug, it is necessary to carefully carry out the procedure for restoring the mineral balance and strengthening the enamel coating.

Remineralizing gel for teeth without fluoride and its derivatives can be used for patients with endocrine disorders, hepatobiliary disorders and renal pathologies.

Remineralization technology in children at home

During the period of active development of the body, the mineral balance of the jaw rows is often disturbed. Children need increased amounts of micronutrients and nutrients. The lack of such physiologically significant compounds leads to the destruction of tooth enamel.

Superficial caries often develops in children. On the incisors, mainly the upper ones, white chalky spots of various sizes and configurations appear. At the initial stage of the disease, pain is absent.

Pathological foci, from which carious cavities are formed over time, may not have clearly defined boundaries. Without prior consultation with a dentist, children cannot be remineralized at home, since allergic reactions are possible.

The composition is applied daily after meals. The standard frequency of use for children is 2 times a day. Before using the product, you need to brush your teeth with a regular paste. Technology for children is no different from that for adults.

Installation using a mouthguard

The application of the therapeutic and prophylactic gel is performed using a special thermal tray or by the method of direct application. The first option is somewhat more complicated, but more reliable and more efficient.

It provides for the use of an individual mouthguard, which is made in dental clinics.

The installation scheme is as follows:

1. Before the remineralization procedure, you need to carefully treat the child's jaw rows with toothpaste and rinse the oral cavity with an antiseptic composition for dental purposes.
2. Then the tray is washed with warm running water.
3. A small amount of remineralizing gel is squeezed onto the inner surface of the installation device. The composition must be evenly distributed over the entire cavity of the mouthguard.
4. The device is carefully placed on the child's jaw row and left for 2-3 minutes.
5. Then the patch is removed, and the remnants of the product from the gum tissue are transferred with a toothbrush to the jaw elements.
6. After that, the mouth must be kept open for 5 minutes. The accumulated salivary fluid should not be swallowed and it is undesirable to spit it out.

Upon completion of the remineralization procedure, the child's oral cavity is not rinsed. Within 30 minutes. it is necessary to refrain from eating and drinking. After removing the tray, it is washed with running water and dried.

Direct application method

This method does not involve the use of assistive devices. The scheme for performing therapeutic and prophylactic manipulations is extremely simple. The child's teeth are cleaned and dried with a sanitary napkin.

From the tube, you need to squeeze a little money onto a cotton swab and evenly distribute the gel over the surface of the jaw elements. Hard-to-reach areas are treated with a toothbrush. Direct application technology is absolutely identical to the method with the mouthguard. The rules described above should be followed.

Review of the best remineralizing gels for home use

It is recommended to independently perform the procedure for restoring tooth enamel only at the initial stages of demineralization. If the pathological process affects the deep layers of dentin tissue, professional dental intervention is indispensable.

Remineralizing gels for hygienic treatment of the oral cavity and the prevention of caries are presented in a large assortment. Many formulations are suitable for home dental care. Below are the funds recommended for independent use.
