MI Paste, a calcium-phosphate remineralizing paste, is a safe and effective way to treat a variety of oral health conditions. It may also be the most effective way to reduce cavities in mature adults, especially when combined with the use of high-fluoride toothpastes.
MI Paste can be used to:
- Reduce high oral acid levels, either from drinking too many soft drinks or from pregnancy
- Reverse tooth sensitivity before and after professional cleaning
- Treat those periodontal problems caused by diabetes
- Restore enamel gloss after whitening procedures
- Relieve dry mouth caused by certain medications or medical conditions
- Coat teeth whose enamel has eroded from acid reflux disease or from eating disorders like bulimia
- Alleviate the pain of oral ulcers
- Treat cavities and conditions arising from loss of saliva
- Buffer the acids produced by oral bacteria and plaque
- Provide regular conditioning during orthodontia treatment and after bands and brackets have been removed, to prevent and reverse white spot lesions
MI Paste is not a substitute for regular toothpaste as it lacks cleaning agents and fluoride. It is available only through a dental office, not in stores as a prescription or over-the-counter product. Ask us whether you would benefit from MI Paste.
Dr. Angela Burns moved to Austin 10 years ago and instantly fell in love with our beautiful city. Dr. Burns is originally from the Texarkana area. She attended Texas A&M for her undergraduate degree and The University of Tennessee Health Science Center for her degree in dental surgery (DDS). Dr. Burns is committed to providing her patients with gentle, technologically advanced dental treatment. She attends an average of 60 hours of continuing education every year. She is a member of the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the Texas Dental Association, and the Capital Area Dental Society. Dr. Burns and her husband, Gary, have an 11-year-old daughter, Sydney, who is a proud 6th grader at Hill Country Middle School. She is also very involved in the Eanes PTO, her church, and loves raising her family in the Westlake community. “Growing up, I was drawn to mediating and helping others feel more included and less anxious. I was a camp counselor, student government officer and being the oldest of five, I was the family mediator. I found that I had a calling to help alleviate stressful situations for others and realized that being a good listener was something that was key to this. These skills really helped guide me into becoming a dentist that has based my practice on relationships, empathy and a sense of comfort. I knew that I wanted to provide an atmosphere that felt like home when others walked in. Our practice is small, personal and state of the art and we hope you feel like you’re hanging out with friends when you are here!” When she is not practicing dentistry, Dr. Burns enjoys traveling, hiking the greenbelt, enjoying Austin’s music scene, and eating Amy’s Ice Cream.
