About this product
GUM Dental Paste Salty Mint takes a distinctly Japanese approach to gum care, combining a hint of salt with an astringent, gum-tightening effect and refreshing mint flavor. Salt-based oral care has long been used in Japan for its gum-toning properties, and this modern formula pairs it with antibacterial CPC and fluoride for a well-rounded periodontal care routine, in a convenient standing tube.
How to use
- Squeeze the desired amount onto a toothbrush.
- Brush gently but thoroughly for 2-3 minutes, focusing on the gumline.
- Spit out and rinse lightly with water.
- Use twice daily, morning and night, for ongoing gum care.

- Sodium Chloride (NaCl / Salt) — an astringent ingredient traditionally used in Japanese oral care to help tighten and tone gum tissue.
- CPC (Cetylpyridinium Chloride) — an antibacterial agent that helps kill periodontal disease-causing bacteria.
- Sodium Fluoride (Fluoride) — supports enamel strength and helps prevent cavities.
