The Power of Fluoro Calcium Phosphosilicate in Tooth Whitening
When Fluoro Calcium Phosphosilicate (FCP) comes into contact with teeth, it forms fluorapatite which is much more resistant to acids and promotes remineralization, particularly in combination with the calcium and phosphate released from the glass. The fluoro calcium phosphosilicate containing toothpaste have been shown to strengthen teeth and prevent sensitivity. All biteglow teeth whitening kits come packed with the powder of FCP.
People sometimes mention that whitening damages teeth. Any chemical placed onto the tooth that is slightly acidic in nature can damage teeth (food included!). Teeth do show some changes in their surface texture immediately following all whitening procedures. Studies have indicated the power of FCP to reverse the effects that whitening ingredients have on the microstructure of human teeth. FCP is also effective in reducing and eliminating sensitivity which is experienced from all whitening procedures. This is why biteglow includes the power of FCP in all our kits to keep your teeth healthy and minimise sensitivity.

Comparatively evaluates the esthetic improvement of White Spot Lesions treated by BioMin F, Tooth Mousse Plus and ICON resin infiltration. All three agents could effectively remineralise artificial enamel caries and showed improvement in colour change and fluorescence as compared to baseline.
