The present invention relates to a dentifrice composition which removes a fine stain and a stain adhering to the surface of teeth sufficiently, enhances the whitening effect on teeth and the gloss-imparting effect on teeth, also increases the amount of fluorine adsorption to teeth, and decreases the feeling of astringency. The oral composition of the present invention comprises the following component (A): phytic acid or an alkali metal salt thereof in an amount of 0.04% by mass or more and 1% by mass or less in terms of phytic acid; and component (B): monofluorophosphoric acid or an alkali metal salt thereof in an amount of 500 ppm or more and 1500 ppm or less in terms of fluorine atoms, wherein a mass ratio of the component (A) to the component (B), ((A)/(B)), is 0.1 or more and 1.4 or less, and a fluoride ion-supplying compound (F) selected from the group consisting of sodium fluoride, potassium fluoride and ammonium fluoride, a polyvalent metal cation, and a polyphosphoric acid or a salt thereof are comprised in a limited amount, and the pH thereof is from 5.5 to 6.5.

Oral composition

Provided is a dentifrice composition which has excellent dental caries preventive effect by improving the uptake of fluoride ions into tooth enamel or dentin and improving acid resistance. A dentifrice composition comprising the following components (A), (B), (C) and (D):
