Problems With Your Gums?
Pink in the sink. Tender, receding, looking longer than they used to. The dentist mentions "pockets" and books you in for a £400 deep-clean you can't afford. Three months on the NHS waiting list. You just want something — anything — you can do every day at home.

THE DENTIST'S-CHAIR REALITY
You already know something's wrong…
There's blood in the sink almost every morning.
Your gums look like they're shrinking back — your teeth genuinely look longer.
The dentist said the words 'pockets' and 'periodontitis' and now you can't un-hear them.
Private deep-cleaning is £200–£400 a session. Gum surgery is £700+. NHS won't see you.
Your breath has gone funny. You catch yourself talking sideways to people.
And Corsodyl just stains your teeth brown…
Corsodyl
Burns. Tastes metallic. Stains your teeth brown. Masks the problem, doesn't fix the routine.
Salt-water rinses
Your nan was right that it helps a bit. She was also wrong that it's enough.
A £180 electric toothbrush
Nice for plaque. Does nothing once your gums are already inflamed.
Ignoring it & hoping
Pockets get deeper. Teeth get looser. Hope is not a strategy.
MEET REFRESH & PROTECT
A proper daily gum ritual.
Not another bottle of red mouthwash.
Refresh & Protect is a ready-to-use 15ml dropper bottle of four botanical oils — formulated so you have something to actually do every morning and night while you wait for the dentist, the NHS, or your gums to firm up. Open. Five drops. Swish or brush. That's the whole ritual.
Made for daily, long-term use
Built for the customer who's in this for months, not minutes.
Zero staining. Zero chemical burn.
No chlorhexidine. No alcohol. No artificial colours. Use it forever.
Gentle on inflamed gums
Sweet almond oil carries the actives so nothing ever scorches sore tissue.
100% NATURAL · WHAT'S INSIDE
A natural ritual.
Four oils. Nothing else.
No chlorhexidine. No alcohol. No artificial colours. No SLS. Just a plant-based blend your grandparents would've recognised — measured properly so it actually does something.
Clove Oil
THE STUDIED ONERich in eugenol, the natural compound that's been studied for its effects on the bacteria associated with gum disease (PubMed 29101062, Zhang et al., 2017).
Peppermint Oil
THE FRESH ONEStudied for its effects on oral biofilm and breath freshness. The reason your mouth feels properly clean after — not just rinsed.
Spearmint Oil
THE GENTLE ONESofter than peppermint. Rounds out the taste so the ritual actually feels nice — twice a day, every day, for months.
Sweet Almond Oil
THE CARRIERCarries the actives gently across the whole gumline. The bit a homemade clove-oil mix always gets wrong (and burns you).
HOW IT WORKS
An ancient ritual, taken seriously.
Oil pulling has been used for thousands of years across South Asia for daily oral care. The mechanism is simple — botanical oils bind to bacteria and debris in the mouth and you spit it out. Clove oil's eugenol and peppermint oil's menthol have both been studied (in lab settings) for their effects on the bacteria associated with gum inflammation. Sweet almond oil makes the whole thing gentle enough to use every single day.
01 — Drop and swish
Five drops in a small glass of water, swish for 30 seconds.
02 — Or brush with it
Five drops on your toothbrush as part of your normal twice-a-day brush.
03 — Keep going
This is a daily ritual, not a one-off fix. Results build over weeks of use.
3 WAYS TO USE IT
Fit it into the routine you already have.
METHOD 01 — In a glass of water
Five drops in a small glass of warm water. Swish slowly for 30 seconds, paying attention to the gumline. Spit. Don't rinse.
METHOD 02 — On your toothbrush
Add five drops to your toothbrush at night and brush as normal. The easiest way to build it into the routine you already do.
METHOD 03 — Straight from the dropper
Two drops dabbed directly along the gumline with a clean fingertip. For the corners a brush can't quite reach.

FAQS
The honest answers.
No. Refresh & Protect is a cosmetic oral-care oil — it is not a medicine, and we make no claim that it treats, cures or reverses gum disease or periodontitis. What our customers tell us is that it gives them a daily ritual that feels good, makes their mouth feel cleaner and fresher, and is something they can actually do every morning and night while their dentist manages the clinical side.
Refresh & Protect is an adult oral-care product. It is not a medicine and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent gum disease, periodontitis, recession or any other condition. If you have been told by a dentist that you have gum disease, please follow their professional advice and continue to see them for monitoring. Customer experiences on this page are individual and results vary. Contains sweet almond oil — do not use if you have a nut allergy. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering use for a child, consult your dentist or GP first.
