An oral product, particularly for anti-tartar use, is provided which includes from about 0.001 to about 20% of beads which include a zinc salt, the zinc salt having an average particle size ranging from about 0.01 to about 5 mm, and a dental base.

Zinc citrate beads in oral compositions

An anti-tartar oral product is provided which includes from about 0.001 to about 20% of beads which include a zinc salt and a gum held in a water matrix, the zinc salt and gum being present in a relative weight ratio from about 10,000:1 to about 10:1, and a dental base.

An oral product and method is provided for inhibiting tartar formation on the teeth. The product is housed in a container and includes a first composition containing a water soluble calcium phosphate salt or monolithic combination of calcium and phosphate salts in a carrier with the first composition having a pH less than 7, and a second composition containing an alkaline material and a fluoride ion source in a carrier to achieve a pH greater than 7.5. The first and second compositions are separated from one another prior to use. When combined upon application to the teeth, the first and second compositions form a system for inhibiting tartar around the teeth.

Anti-tartar dental product and method

An oral product and method is provided for remineralizing teeth. The product includes a first composition containing a water soluble calcium phosphate salt or monolithic combination of calcium and phosphate salts in a carrier with the first composition having a pH less than 7, and a second composition containing an alkaline material and a fluoride ion source in a carrier to achieve a pH greater than 7.5. The first and second compositions are separated from one another prior to use. When combined upon application to teeth, the first and second compositions generate hydroxyapatite depositing same on dental enamel.

Remineralization of teeth

Anti-tartar dental product and related method

A liquid dentifrice is provided which includes a humectant, an abrasive, a structuring thickener and a specified level of menthol. Sufficient menthol in amounts greater than 0.5 up to 2% by weight are incorporated to achieve a freshened breath real mouthwash impact.

Liquid dentifrice with mouthwash fresh taste

Dentifrices, including toothpaste creams and gels, and mouthwashes, are provided including aminoalkyl silicones. In the mouth, the aminoalkyl silicones form a lasting hydrophobic film on the teeth for prevention of cavities and stain. Antimicrobial compounds such as chlorhexidine may be included.

Dentifrices containing amino alkyl silicones

Disclosed is a packaged effervescible composition which generates fresh effervescence at the time of use. The composition comprises a first liquid component including hydrogen peroxide as a functional ingredient and a second liquid component including sodium bicarbonate as a functional ingredient. The package comprises a container for the components and a closure system comprising an inclined crown portion, at least two pouring spouts extending upwardly from the upper surface of the crown and a cover for securement to the crown portion, the cover being provided with depending plugs to close the closure. Preferably each pouring spout is provided with a vent opening which allows smaller through openings in the spouts. The through openings can thus be positioned closer together on the crown. This gives the advantage that the package can be used dispensing liquids into a small container such as a mouthwash cup with controlled pouring.

Package effervescible composition

An oral composition is provided that includes a peroxygen compound such as hydrogen peroxide, a fluoride-containing anticaries agent and a tin compound, especially stannous chloride. The tin compound stabilizes the peroxygen compound against decomposition that ordinarily would be induced by the presence of fluoride.

Stabilized peroxide gels containing fluoride

The invention provides a process for microbiologically stabilizing a premix phase intended to receive bicarbonate in the manufacture of toothpaste. The process includes blending together in the premix phase a polyol, a thickening agent, a copper compound and water. The premix phase is maintained at a temperature no higher than 110.degree. F. for a time sufficient to destroy bacteria. Thereafter the bicarbonate is incorporated into the premix phase without cool-down of the premix phase. There is also disclosed an oral composition that includes a combination of humectant, thickening agent, copper, bicarbonate and water.

Microbiologically stabilized phase for bicarbonate toothpaste manufacture

An oral composition is provided having exceptional anti-plaque action, the composition comprising a bicarbonate salt, a copper compound and a complexing agent to stabilize the copper.
