What Is Kedi Gum Care Toothpaste?
Kedi Gum Care Toothpaste is a herbal gum care toothpaste formulated to support healthy gums and periodontal tissue. It combines Tranexamic Acid with Scutellaria baicalensis (Chinese skullcap) extract, with a Bamboo & Mint flavour, and comes in a 185g tube distributed in Nigeria by Kedi Healthcare Industries (Nig) Ltd.
It is an everyday toothpaste rather than a medicine, used in place of your normal toothpaste twice daily. See the full Kedi Healthcare range for related products.
What Makes It Different From Regular Toothpaste?
Most everyday toothpastes are built around cleaning and cavity protection. This one is built around the gumline. Tranexamic Acid is the signature addition, included to help reduce bleeding from tender gums during brushing, and Scutellaria baicalensis is a traditional Chinese herb long used in oral care to soothe irritated gum tissue.
The ingredient list printed on the pack does not include a fluoride compound, so it sits in the herbal, fluoride-free category rather than the mainstream fluoride category. The Bamboo & Mint flavour is milder than a standard strong-mint toothpaste, which some people prefer when their gums feel sore.
How Does It Support Gum Health?
It works by keeping the gumline clean. The mild abrasive and cleaning agents lift plaque and surface debris that collect where the tooth meets the gum, while Tranexamic Acid helps reduce bleeding during brushing and the herbal extract helps soothe the tissue.
Plaque along the gumline is the main trigger for gum irritation, so regular brushing and consistent plaque removal are important for maintaining gum health. Seek dental advice if symptoms continue.
What Are the Key Benefits?
- Helps protect the gums and periodontal tissue
- Helps reduce gum bleeding and tenderness during brushing
- Helps reduce dental plaque and teeth debris
- Helps remove surface stains from the teeth
- Supports enamel strength
- Freshens the breath with a Bamboo & Mint flavour
- The pack provides usage directions for adults and supervised brushing for children under six
What Are the Ingredients?
Full ingredient list as printed on the pack: Sorbitol, Aqua, Hydrated Silica, Glycerin, Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, Cellulose Gum, Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate, Flavour, CI77891, Sodium Saccharin, Tranexamic Acid, Methylparaben, Scutellaria Baicalensis Extract. Flavour: Bamboo & Mint. Net weight: 185g.
Hydrated Silica is the gentle polishing agent that lifts plaque and stains. Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate helps limit tartar build-up. Sorbitol and Glycerin hold the paste together and give it texture, while Sodium Lauryl Sulphate creates the foam that carries the paste around the mouth.
How Should You Use It?
- Adults: brush at least twice daily — morning and evening — or as advised by your dentist.
- Children under 6: use a pea-sized amount with adult supervision to minimise swallowing. If your child uses fluoride supplements, consult your dentist first.
- Do not swallow. Spit out after brushing.
How Can You Get the Best Results?
Brush gently along the gumline for a full two minutes, twice a day, without skipping days. Aggressive brushing does not clean better and can make tender gums worse — use a soft-bristled brush and light pressure.
Rinsing the mouth with clean water after meals can help remove loose food particles. Clean between the teeth daily with floss or an interdental brush, since a toothbrush cannot reach the surfaces between teeth where plaque also collects. Replace your toothbrush roughly every three months.
Who Is It For?
- Adults looking for a daily anti-plaque toothpaste focused on gum care
- People with tender gums that bleed lightly during brushing
- Anyone preferring a herbal toothpaste for gums over a standard mint formula
- Households wanting one toothpaste for adults, with supervised use for children under six
Who Should Avoid or Use It Carefully?
- Anyone with a known sensitivity to Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, Methylparaben or any other listed ingredient — check the full list above before use
- Children under six — supervised brushing with a pea-sized amount only
- Stop use if irritation, a burning sensation or mouth ulcers develop
See a dentist if gum bleeding is persistent or recurrent, or if it occurs with pain, swelling, bad breath that does not improve, loose teeth or receding gums.
What This Toothpaste Does Not Do
- It is not a medicine and does not treat gum disease

How Should It Be Stored?

Frequently Asked Questions
Does gum care toothpaste actually work?
It works by keeping the gumline clean and reducing plaque, which is what irritates gums in the first place. Kedi Gum Care also contains Tranexamic Acid to help reduce bleeding during brushing. Consistent daily brushing is what matters most for gum health.
Which toothpaste should I use for bleeding gums?
A toothpaste for bleeding gums should be formulated for gum care rather than whitening alone. Kedi Gum Care Toothpaste is designed for this purpose, combining Tranexamic Acid with herbal Scutellaria baicalensis extract. Toothpaste supports daily cleaning but is not a treatment — see a dentist if bleeding is persistent or recurrent.
Can toothpaste repair receding gums?
Toothpaste cannot regrow receded gum tissue. It may support daily cleaning around the affected area, but a dentist should assess the cause and recommend appropriate treatment.
Is Kedi Gum Care Toothpaste fluoride-free?
The ingredient list printed on the pack does not include a fluoride compound — it is a herbal formula. The label advises consulting your dentist if children are using separate fluoride supplements.
Is it safe to use every day?
Yes, it is designed as your everyday toothpaste, used twice daily. Do not swallow it, and children under six should use only a pea-sized amount under supervision. Stop use if any irritation develops.
Is Kedi the same as Colgate gum care toothpaste?
No — they are entirely different brands and formulas. Kedi is a Chinese-manufactured herbal formula distributed in Nigeria by Kedi Healthcare Industries (Nig) Ltd, built around Tranexamic Acid and Scutellaria baicalensis extract.
