Del Mar Cosmetic Dentist Discusses Benefits of MI Paste
March 26, 2009—SAN DIEGO AND DEL MAR, CALIFORNIA — Del Mar cosmetic dentistry expert Dr. Edward Farajzadeh uses MI Paste with RECALDENT (CPP-ACP) as one of the tools to combat his patients’ caries and other dental disease.
Numerous activities can harm teeth and create an acid imbalance in the mouth. When that happens, teeth can lose nutrients and strength, and patients could have trouble producing enough saliva containing the minerals needed to keep teeth strong and healthy.
“After researching the product, I knew MI Paste would benefit my patients,” said Farajzadeh. “It strengthens tooth enamel, reduces sensitivity, prevents white spot lesions from occurring during orthodontia and provides a buffer from plaque acid, working with the mouth’s natural defense system, saliva, to create a healthy oral environment.”
Aging, reactions to medications, disease, chemotherapy and stress all can cause lower saliva production. Consuming excessive amounts of beverages such as sports drinks, coffee, alcohol and soda can create an acid imbalance in the mouth. Pregnancy or chronic gastric reflux also can create an imbalance in the mouth. Tooth sensitivity due to routine cleanings, tooth-whitening procedures or worn tooth enamel can interfere with everyday life.
One fast-acting, effective way to counter these problems is by using MI Paste, which restores minerals and helps produce saliva. The milk protein-based paste binds to plaque, bacteria, soft tissue and dentin and slowly releases the minerals needed to form enamel.
MI Paste works in conjunction with the mouth’s saliva to protect teeth and soft tissues, flush bacteria and food away from the teeth and reduce enamel abrasion. The increased saliva flow helps restore normal pH levels in the mouth and replenishes the key minerals needed to rebuild the tooth enamel, which include calcium, phosphate and fluoride ions.
According to the official Web site (www.mi-paste.com), “MI Paste with RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) applied at least once daily provides both immediate and long term solutions to the common problem of dentinal hypersensitivity. It can arrest the process of dental erosion, which is a common underlying cause of chronic tooth sensitivity.”
A team of Australian dental scientists developed CPP-ACP- which stands for casein phosphopeptides amorphous calcium phosphate- the active ingredient of MI Paste, and then licensed their formula to GC America in 2002. The company sells the product as MI Paste in the United States and Canada and Tooth Mousse elsewhere.
“My patients usually comment on less tooth sensitivity after one application,” said Farajzadeh, who has been using the product for almost a year. “I notice significant improvement in the strength and health of the patients’ teeth after regular use of the paste.”
Depending on the patient’s individual needs, Farajzadeh may apply MI Paste in the office or give the patient directions on how to apply the paste at home.
