Not suitable for: young children except under adult supervision and using an age-appropriate amount; anyone allergic to any listed ingredient. This is a cosmetic toothpaste and is not a treatment for gum disease — if your gums bleed regularly, see a dentist.

How to use

1. Apply a pea-sized amount to a soft toothbrush.
2. Brush all tooth surfaces and along the gum line for about two minutes.
3. Brush twice a day, ideally in the morning and last thing at night.
4. Spit out after brushing; for the fluoride to work best, avoid rinsing with lots of water straight away.
5. Replace the cap and store the tube after use.

Frequently asked questions

What is Yunnan Baiyao toothpaste used for?

It is a herbal-formula toothpaste for daily oral care — cleaning the teeth, freshening breath and supporting gum comfort during brushing. It is a cosmetic oral-care product and is not a medicine for treating gum disease.

Does it help with bleeding gums?

Many people choose it because it is marketed for gum comfort, and some find their gums feel more comfortable during brushing. It does not treat the underlying cause of bleeding gums; if your gums bleed regularly, book a check-up with a dentist.

How big is the 65g tube?

The 65g tube is the compact everyday size, handy for travel or for keeping a spare at work. A larger 215g tube is also available for home use.

Where can I buy authentic 云南白药牙膏 in the UK?

Ways Pharmacy stocks authentic Yunnan Baiyao toothpaste imported in its original Chinese packaging, in both 65g and 215g sizes.

Can children use it?

Children should only use toothpaste under adult supervision, with an age-appropriate amount, and should be encouraged to spit it out rather than swallow it. For young children, ask a dentist about the right toothpaste and fluoride level.

Safety & storage

• For oral hygiene use only; do not swallow.
• Keep out of the reach of young children; supervise children when brushing.
• Discontinue and seek advice if irritation occurs.
• See a dentist if gums bleed regularly, as this can be a sign of gum disease.
