A Game-Changer for Pregnancy and Beyond: My Experience with R.O.C.S. Rocs Medical Minerals Tooth Remineralizing Gel
I'll be the first to admit, I didn't know about preventative dental care during my first pregnancy, but my dentist recommended R.O.C.S. Rocs Medical Minerals Tooth Remineralizing Gel, and I've been using it ever since I found out I was pregnant.
The R.O.C.S. gel is a highly absorbable source of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. When applied to the surface of your teeth, it forms a stable film that allows the active ingredients to gradually penetrate the tooth tissues.
It helps restore the mineral density of your teeth, making them more resistant to tooth decay. It also improves the appearance of your teeth (color and shine) without the need for whitening methods. And it reduces tooth sensitivity.
You can use this gel during breastfeeding and it's also safe for kids. During my pregnancy, I applied it every evening after brushing my teeth with toothpaste and in the morning after brushing my teeth. I even used it on my daughter before she went to bed and after she woke up, following the same routine every day.
The best part? It's completely safe if you accidentally swallow it. Now, I'll share the nice perks I've discovered from using this gel.
I had healthy teeth going into my first pregnancy, no dental work was needed, I used an electric toothbrush and toothpaste, and often opted for whitening alternatives. By the 8th or 9th month of pregnancy, I started experiencing tooth sensitivity while brushing my teeth. I'm not sure if it was the whitening toothpaste (which was gentle and hadn't caused any issues before) or pregnancy itself, but I learned about a gel that protects teeth from sensitivity and cavities during a consultation with my dentist in my second pregnancy.
During my first pregnancy, I didn't address this issue, and the sensitivity went away on its own over time, but after giving birth. During my second pregnancy, I didn't use whitening products, but I did use an electric toothbrush, and I entered it with sensitive teeth on the left side (three teeth at the top) and a sensitive gum on the right side too, at the top.
I also needed to replace one filling, which I did without any issues in the first trimester of pregnancy. Girls, don't be afraid to get dental work done in the first trimester - it's not a big deal, as long as you don't get anesthesia or X-rays. It's better than dealing with an infection in your mouth and waiting until after giving birth to get it treated. Get things done right away, pregnancy isn't a disease.
Remineralizing gel for teeth R.O.C.S. Rocs medical minerals really helped me get rid of tooth sensitivity that comes up during pregnancy. Brushing my teeth became comfortable again. However, the gum of my tooth remained sensitive and would ache after eating tough food, my dentist recommended continuing to use the gel, but in combination with a toothpaste for sensitive teeth.
I'll write about that one separately. I've been using Totem, an iron supplement in liquid form that stains teeth, during my second pregnancy. So, aside from drinking iron through a straw, I also used R.O.C.S. Rocs Medical Minerals Tooth Remineralizing Gel.
Even if some of the liquid iron gets on your teeth, I used the gel as a whitening agent and it worked out really well. Not only did the gel get rid of tooth sensitivity and prevent some discoloration from Totem, but it also served as a defense against cavities.
My four-year-old daughter has pearly white teeth and no cavities (we use the gel at night, and after that, we don't drink or eat anything). I also don't have any cavities.
The product's indications for use are as follows:
The tooth remineralizing gel is intended for local remineralizing therapy. It's recommended for course use and can be prescribed for both children and adults. The gel is easy to apply, with a smooth consistency and refreshing flavor that makes it suitable for use with a dropper or directly on the teeth.
The manufacturer claims it has a soft and refreshing taste, but honestly, it has no taste at all. It doesn't leave any sensation in your mouth.
My four-year-old daughter's been using this tooth gel since she was three. It's safe to use from birth, literally from the first tooth. You clean and apply the gel - just remember, until they're 10, you should still be cleaning their teeth for them.
I know some parents let their kids do it themselves, but I've always done it myself, and my daughter's results have been way better than mine were when I was a kid. I clean her teeth myself, and then she does her own, but I always double-check.
It's a game-changer that doesn't contain fluoride, which means it's safe if your kid swallows it, and it's perfect for kids from birth. It's also super effective in areas with high fluoride levels in the water, and it's a must-have for people who can't use fluoride-based products due to health conditions like thyroid problems, osteoporosis, kidney disease, or mineral imbalances.
I'd highly recommend R.O.C.S. Rocs Medical Minerals Tooth Remineralizing Gel - even if you're not pregnant. For just 450 rubles, you get prevention against cavities, tooth sensitivity, and enamel discoloration. Occasionally, this gel goes on sale for 150 rubles, but I've never been lucky enough to snag it at that price.
