Hello,Take a pea sized Mousse paste and apply it over all the teeth surfaces after brushing in the night.It is safe to swallow it as long as your child is not allergic to any of the ingredients of the paste.But if there is a cavity the mousse wont be that effective.

The condition is early childhood caries and generally involved multiple teeth.
Please do not neglect to maintain the hygiene of the baby teeth just because it will be replaced by permanent teeth later. You have to take care of the oral hygiene of your child.
Do not let the Child sleep with his milk bottle or any other pacifier in his mouth.
Use an ultra soft baby brush( WITHOUT toothpaste) to clean the baby teeth properly. The tooth mousse suggested is safe. But if there is increase in pain treatment has to be done.

Hello,
If there is a cavity already,then Tooth Mousse will not help and a filling will be required.Take a pea sized Mousse paste and apply it over all the teeth surfaces after brushing in the night.It is safe to swallow it as long as your child is not allergic to any of the ingredients of the paste.The longer it is in contact with the saliva,better are the chances of remineralization.
