It has been found that a mouthrinse comprising CPC and zinc ions is a very effective mouthrinse. It has an antibacterial effect that removes odor creating bacteria from the oral cavity. The CPC and zinc ions preferably are used in combination with an ionone terpene such as alpha ionone or a beta ionone.

Anti-microbial breath freshening mouthrinse

A novel composition to counter by preventing and controlling breath odor containing as the essential agents, a salt which provides zinc ions, and an ionone ketone terpene derivative.

Composition to counter breath odor

An oral composition effective to promote oral hygiene containing as an anticalculus agent phosphonoacetic acid or an orally acceptable salt thereof.

Anticalculus oral composition

An antibacterial oral composition effective to promote oral hygiene containing an antibacterial antiplaque agent and an additive which reduces staining of dental surfaces without substantially diminishing the antibacterial and antiplaque activity of the agent. Bis-biguanido hexanes, such as chlorhexidine and alexidine, and quaternary ammonium salts, such as benzethonium chloride and cetyl pyridinium chloride, are typical examples of antibacterial agents. The antistain additive is a quaternary aminoalkylene phosphonic acid, such as N-methyl aminotri(methylene phosphonic acid) and salts thereof.

Antibacterial oral composition

An antibacterial oral composition effective to promote oral hygiene containing an antibacterial antiplaque agent and an additive which reduces staining of dental surfaces without substantially diminishing the antibacterial and antiplaque activity of the agent. Bis-biguanido hexanes, such as chlorhexidine and alexidine, and quaternary ammonium salts, such as benzethonium chloride and cetyl pyridinium chloride, are typical examples of antibacterial agents. The antistain additive is an N-methylene phosphonate compound, such as iminodiacetic N-methylene phosphonic acid and salts thereof.
