What is MI Paste and how does it work?

GC MI Paste contains RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) which is made from a natural protein extracted from milk. DO NOT USE IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO MILK PRODUCTS. RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) acts in a dual manner, by providing a source of calcium and phosphate, while also supplying a soluble format for delivery of these essential minerals to the tooth surface. MI Paste comes in individual 40g tubes in five delicious flavors.

MI Paste could be helpful

• If you are experiencing any form of tooth sensitivity. Tooth sensitivity is a common side effect
• Immediately following bleaching for tooth whitening
• After your teeth have been professionally cleaned and polished
• If you suffer from dry mouth, which could be a side effect of prescription or non prescription medicines.
• If you are susceptible to dehydration from sporting activities or outdoor work.
• If you currently have orthodontic bands or brackets or have just had them removed
• If you are pregnant and your mouth acid levels are higher than normal

How to use it

GC MI Paste can be applied into a pre-formed tray and placed in the mouth. Alternatively squeeze a small amount of GC MI Paste from the tube onto your finger and apply it over the surfaces of the teeth. If you are in the middle of orthodontic treatment, apply MI Paste around the areas where the bands and brackets are attached to the teeth.

How often should I use it?

In most situations you will apply it after brushing your teeth, both morning and night. If starting tooth whitening apply GC MI Paste immediately following each whitening session. When undergoing orthodontic treatment apply GC MI Paste twice daily for the entire time the bands or brackets are attached to your teeth. If you regularly suffer from dry mouth you may need to use MI Paste more often. Please discuss this with your dentist.

The smile says it all

These days more and more people are whitening their teeth, either as a one step procedure at their dentist or under supervision at home. Whichever method is used, the whitening process removes proteins and moisture from the teeth – in the same way as shampooing strips your hair of essential oils and nutrients. So, just as you put conditioner on your hair to restore its vitality, you need to replenish minerals and nutrients in your teeth after whitening. Fortunately, there is now a product that does just this. GC MI Paste has been specially formulated to nourish teeth before and after the whitening process, thereby helping to achieve greater vitality and more esthetically pleasing appearance. If you want to obtain the best results after whitening, then GC MI Paste is an important consideration.

Do I need to continue using MI Paste after whitening?

The teeth may look or feel dry immediately after whitening. Sometimes they will also feel sensitive, so we recommend you continue the daily GC MI Paste application for a week after the final whitening procedure, to add minerals to your teeth, to complement the new whiter look and to give them that beautiful vital appearance.

Whitening in the dental office

If you plan to have the whitening carried out in the dental office the procedure can often be completed in just one hour. Your dentist may recommend a daily application of GC MI Paste before whitening. In this case, make sure you do not apply it on the day of your appointment.

After the whitening procedure you will be asked to apply GC MI Paste over the whitened surface and continue a once or twice daily application for one week.

What about at home?

Home whitening is not as concentrated as in the dental office, so after each whitening procedure apply GC MI Paste over the same area as the whitening gel was placed and leave undisturbed for 3 minutes. Then either wash off or leave to slowly dissipate. Be sure to follow the instructions as set out by the manufacturer of the whitening gel before applying MI Paste. Once the whitening treatment has been fully completed, continue a daily application of MI Paste for another seven days..

DO NOT USE IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO MILK PRODUCTS.

Is MI Paste safe to swallow?

Yes. The main active ingredient of MI Paste is derived from milk casein and like milk and cheese, is safe. Products containing RECALDENT™ (CPPACP) should not be consumed by people with milk protein allergies. RECALDENT™(CPP-ACP) is digestible by people with lactose intolerance.

Do I need to wash it off?

This is a matter of preference. For the maximum benefit, leave it on the teeth as long as possible. The minimum recommended application time is three minutes. You can then rinse or simply wipe any remaining cream from the teeth.

Does MI Paste contain fluoride?

No. However if your dentist recommends that you need an additional fluoride treatment program, you can safely use both MI Paste and fluoride products at the same time.
