How do you use MI Paste?
MI Paste is completely safe.

How does MI Paste work?
Casein phosphopeptide (CPP) is the active molecule in MI Paste. CPP is a compound that occurs naturally, releasing additional calcium and phosphate ions onto your teeth mouth. These ions add additional protection against tooth sensitivity.
Using MI Paste also will not worsen dry mouth, which can be a common side effect of many medications used to treat oral health issues.
