GC MI Paste Plus — Frequently Asked Questions

GC MI Paste Plus contains 10% CPP-ACP plus 900 ppm sodium fluoride — the same remineralising base as GC Tooth Mousse, with added fluoride for enhanced caries protection. Below are the key questions answered for patients and caregivers.

What is GC MI Paste Plus?

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.

How is GC MI Paste Plus different from GC Tooth Mousse?

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.

Who should use GC MI Paste Plus?

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.

Is GC MI Paste Plus safe for children?

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.

How do I use GC MI Paste Plus?

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.

Does MI Paste Plus replace fluoride toothpaste?

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.

Can I use MI Paste Plus if I have a milk allergy?

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.

What flavours are available?

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

Is MI Paste Plus available without a prescription in South Africa?

Yes. GC MI Paste Plus is available over the counter in South Africa. No prescription is required to purchase it. It is commonly recommended by dentists and hygienists as an at-home remineralisation and caries-prevention adjunct.
