About this product
GUM Dental Paste is Sunstar's flagship medicated (quasi-drug) toothpaste line, developed specifically for gum health. The Soukai (Refresh) Type combines antibacterial CPC, gum-soothing GK2, and high-concentration fluoride in one formula, targeting the three pillars of Japanese oral care: periodontal disease prevention, cavity prevention, and fresh breath.
How to use
- Squeeze an appropriate amount (about 1-2cm) onto a toothbrush.
- Brush thoroughly, focusing on the gumline where plaque tends to build up, for about 2-3 minutes.
- Spit out; a light rinse is fine, but avoid over-rinsing so the active ingredients can continue working.
- Use morning and night as part of a daily gum-care routine.
Ingredients
- CPC (Cetylpyridinium Chloride) — an antibacterial agent that helps kill periodontal disease-causing bacteria and remove bacterial residue (LPS) left behind.
- GK2 (Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate) — a licorice-root derived anti-inflammatory that helps calm and protect irritated gums.
- Sodium Fluoride (1,450ppm high-concentration Fluoride) — supports enamel remineralization and helps prevent cavities.
FAQ
What does "medicated" (yakuyou) mean here?
It refers to Japan's quasi-drug (医薬部外品) classification — a toothpaste formulated with recognized active ingredients (like CPC and fluoride) for specific oral care benefits, distinct from a purely cosmetic paste.
Is this suitable if I have sensitive gums?
The GK2 ingredient is included specifically to help calm gum irritation, making it a popular pick for those focused on gum health, though anyone with ongoing gum concerns should also consult a dentist.
What does it taste like?
The Soukai (Refresh) type has a clean, invigorating mint flavor designed for a refreshed, just-brushed feeling.
🇺🇸 For US customers
For the ingredient-conscious oral care crowd familiar with r/AsianBeauty and J-beauty pharmacy hauls, GUM by Sunstar is Japan's go-to medicated toothpaste brand for gum health, comparable in spirit to prescription-strength Western gum care lines but formulated with CPC and GK2 rather than typical U.S. actives. The Soukai (Refresh) variant is a popular starting point for those building a Japanese gum-care routine.
