Dr. Mike Recommends

Every now and then a product comes along that has the ability to change the way dentistry is done. MI Paste is one of them. This is not a new product and has been around since the 1980s. With over 100 scientific studies the product is both scientifically and clinically proven.

When used in combination with a fluoride containing tooth pastes and once yearly professional fluoride application, it will dramatically decrease the chance of having cavity form, either a new cavity or under a restoration.

MI Paste does this by remineralization of the tooth surface. The exact chemical activity I will not get into but the active ingredient is a trademarked formulation called Recaldent (CPP-ACP). Recaldent replaces lost Calcium and Phosphate that occurs during cavity formation to repair and allow the tooth to heal.

It is not possible to guarantee that cavities never occur but I believe this will change the mouths or our patients. I have already started to recommend MI Paste several times per day. Truly it is beneficial for everyone.

Please ask about Mi Paste at your next visit. We will continue to stock MI Paste. Each 40-gram tube is $40, which is our cost only.
