Sugar plays a significant role in tooth decay and enamel destruction. The mouth contains a great number and wide variety of bacteria, which coats the surface of the mouth. Some intraoral bacteria form lactic acid, which decreases the pH in the mouth. This is when the hydroxylapatite crystals of enamel demineralize. When that happens, it allows a greater bacterial invasion to sink deeper into the tooth. Tooth morphology shows that the most common place for dental caries to develop is in the deep grooves, pits, and fissures of enamel. This is because these places are impossible to reach with a toothbrush and let the bacteria live there. As the enamel continues to demineralize, it becomes unable to prevent the takeover of bacteria, and then the underlying dentin becomes affected too. When dentin is destroyed by decay, the enamel can no longer compensate for its brittleness and breaks away from the tooth easily.

But now restoring your teeth’s enamel has never been easier thanks to MI Paste and MI Paste Plus. MI Paste is an all water-based and sugar-free crème that contains Recaldent, which infuses calcium and phosphate with a natural milk protein that attaches to dental plaque. The plaque that forms on teeth can cause decay and tooth loss, allowing bacteria from food and drinks to produce acid that stays in the mouth and eats away at tooth enamel in a process known as demineralization. Now with this great product it’s possible to help restore the enamel that has been lost or damaged through decay.

Demineralization is a natural process that can occur from taking medications that cause dry mouth, drinking too many acidic drinks like coffee and soda, poor oral hygiene habits, and/or stress. Over time these things break down the enamel and cause teeth to decay. MI Paste not only helps restore the enamel lost during demineralization, but also helps with dry mouth, tooth sensitivity, white spots and other oral health problems. It strengthens and remineralizes leaving you with stronger, healthier, and glossier teeth by helping maintain a normal pH level in the mouth. Who can use MI Paste you ask? Almost everyone, it is even safe to use while pregnant, breastfeeding, and on children ages six and up. This revolutionary dental product helps keep the mouth lubricated so plaque has a harder time sticking to the teeth and provides essential minerals while helping restore the natural enamel. And for an extra boost there is MI Paste Plus, which also contains fluoride that will help fight against cavities.

MI Paste’s application is simple. You just brush your teeth regularly and apply the paste on the tooth’s surface, then let it set for three to five minutes. MI paste can even be applied into your custom trays. Within two to three months you will see and feel a difference in your overall oral health. It also comes in five tasty flavors, melon, mint, strawberry, tutti-fruitti, and vanilla and is available now at Smile Warehouse!
