GC MI Paste Plus is a topical dental crème containing 10% CPP-ACP (Casein Phosphopeptide–Amorphous Calcium Phosphate) plus 900 ppm sodium fluoride. It remineralises enamel by delivering calcium and phosphate to the tooth surface — with added fluoride for enhanced caries protection. It is not a whitening product.

The only difference is fluoride. MI Paste Plus contains 900 ppm sodium fluoride; Tooth Mousse contains none. Both have the same 10% CPP-ACP concentration. MI Paste Plus is generally preferred for adult patients at caries risk or those who need simultaneous fluoride therapy alongside remineralisation.

Adults who have active or elevated caries risk as assessed by a dentist; are undergoing orthodontic treatment; experience post-whitening sensitivity and need fluoride remineralisation; or have been prescribed it as an adjunct to professional fluoride treatment.

Children under 6 should not use MI Paste Plus — the 900 ppm fluoride content carries fluorosis risk while permanent teeth are forming. For children aged 6–12, use only under dentist supervision in small amounts. GC Tooth Mousse (fluoride-free) is the child-safe alternative.

1. Brush and floss as normal. 2. Apply a pea-sized amount using a clean finger, tray, or the end of the tube. 3. Spread evenly across all tooth surfaces. 4. Leave on at least 3 minutes — do not rinse. For maximum effect, apply before bed and leave overnight. 5. Spit out excess; avoid food and drink for 30 minutes.

No. It is an adjunct, not a replacement. Continue brushing with fluoride toothpaste twice daily. MI Paste Plus is applied as a third step after brushing, or as a tray application prescribed by your dentist.

No. Like GC Tooth Mousse, MI Paste Plus contains CPP-ACP derived from milk protein (casein). It is contraindicated for anyone with a known milk-protein allergy. Confirm with your doctor before use if you have any dairy allergy.

Mint, Vanilla, Strawberry, Melon, Tutti Frutti. All flavours are clinically identical — flavour is cosmetic only. Adults typically prefer Mint.
