A Gentle Formula for Receding Gums
Periodontal disease (periodontitis or gum disease) is a chronic bacterial infection and inflammatory condition that affects the gums and soft tissues in the mouth.
Periodontitis can spread beneath the gumline, forming deep pockets where bacteria and hardened plaque (tartar) hide. The exposed root dentin is softer than enamel, making it more vulnerable to irritation and wear.
Dr. Jen's Super Paste Perio is a low-abrasion formula that protects delicate root surfaces while cleaning teeth. Our formula can help with vulnerable root structure from physical wear and support healing.
Specialized Mineral Support
Dr. Jen's premium nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste contains nHAp. According to a study on the clinical efficacy of nanohydroxyapatite-containing cream in relieving dentin hypersensitivity, it helps seal dentinal tubules. This may help with tooth sensitivity in people with periodontal disease.
Some of our formulas contain fluoride, which helps make enamel more resistant to the bacteria that produce enamel-eroding acids. Our remineralizing toothpastes also help supply lost minerals to exposed areas to support stronger enamel and gum healing.
We infuse Super Paste Perio with Vitamins K2 and D3 to deliver targeted nutritional support for gum tissue health.
No Irritants or Harsh Additives
Sodium lauryl sulfate is a foaming agent found in traditional toothpastes that can irritate delicate mouth tissues. Super Paste Perio is an SLS-free toothpaste that contains no artificial colors or flavors, making it a good choice for people with periodontitis.
Our toothpastes are also free from petroleum additives that can cause dry mouth and increase inflammation along the gum line.
Tips for Using Dr. Jen’s Periodontal Toothpaste
- Use a Soft Bristle Toothbrush: Medium or hard bristles can be too abrasive on soft exposed root dentin and irritate receding gum lines. A soft-bristled brush is gentler on the delicate tissues.
- Spit, Don't Rinse: After using our toothpaste, spit the excess but don’t rinse; wait at least 30 minutes after brushing before you eat or drink anything. This allows the nano-hydroxyapatite to absorb into the enamel and tender gum tissues.
- Apply Gentle Pressure: Soft root dentin can wear down quickly under aggressive scrubbing. Always use gentle circular motions to protect delicate tissue while cleaning your teeth.
Want Fluoride and Fluoride-Free Gum Protection?
Super Paste is a fluoride toothpaste that supports remineralization and healthy gums. But some people prefer to avoid the mineral, which is why we offer a range of fluoride-free toothpastes.
As the world's first naturally derived 10% eggshell nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste, Dr. Jen's Eggshell formula is fluoride-free and can help people with periodontal disease. The nHAp crystals bind to dental plaque and acid-producing bacteria so they can be brushed and rinsed away.
The formula also contains anti-inflammatory botanicals such as aloe vera, calendula, Chinese licorice root, papaya, and black cherry extract, which help soothe bleeding, tender gums.

Created by a Daughter and Dentist
When her own mother struggled with periodontal disease, experiencing severe discomfort from high-dose prescription fluoride during deep cleanings, Dr. Jen set out to create a better solution.
She formulated Super Paste Perio, a low-abrasion toothpaste for people with gum disease, periodontitis, gingivitis, and severe gum recession.
Today, Dr. Jen Natural is a trusted toothpaste brand that helps people with periodontitis protect their oral health.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Toothpaste Reverse Periodontal Disease?
Toothpaste can’t reverse the damage that periodontitis causes. Our formulas can help during early gingivitis by reducing plaque and supporting remineralization. Periodontal disease requires professional assessment and treatment, so see your dentist if you notice gums pulling away from the teeth, bleeding when brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, and swelling around the gums.
Is Fluoride-Free Toothpaste Good for Gum Disease?
Dr. Jen's fluoride-free formulas contain anti-inflammatory botanicals, including aloe vera and calendula, which help soothe irritated gums. They also have nHAp, which, according to a review of nano-hydroxyapatite in the remineralization of early dental caries, supports mineral uptake. The toothpaste also contains xylitol to help control decay-causing bacteria.
How Often Should I Brush With Periodontal Toothpaste?
Adults with periodontitis should brush twice daily unless a dental professional instructs otherwise. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and gentle pressure to prevent irritating the gums. Also, use Dr. Jen’s formulas, which are free from harsh abrasives and irritants.
