Disclosed herein are oral compositions comprising an amino acid and a gelling agent. In certain embodiments, the chewable composition is in the form of a gummy comprising arginine and pectin. Related kits and methods of use are further provided.

Oral compositions

This invention relates to oral care compositions, for example comprising a salt of a basic amino acid having a pH in solution of less than 7.5, an abrasive having a pH in solution of less than 7.5, and a fluoride ion source, and an acid selected from the group consisting of: a carboxylic acid (e.g., citric acid, lactic acid, glycolic acid, acetic acid, succinic acid, or fumaric acid), and an inorganic acid, wherein the inorganic acid is not phosphoric acid or sulfuric acid (e.g., wherein the inorganic acid is hydrochloric acid or sodium acid pyrophosphate), and to methods of using and of making these compositions.

Oral care product and methods of use and manufacture thereof

A teeth whitening system that emits electromagnetic radiation onto surfaces of a user's teeth and may also dispense a tooth whitening material for contact with the user's teeth. In one aspect, the teeth whitening system includes a mouthpiece comprising a wall and a bite platform extending from the wall that collectively define a first channel for receiving a user's teeth and an electromagnetic radiation source coupled to the mouthpiece and configured to emit electromagnetic radiation onto surfaces of the user's teeth that are positioned in the first channel. The teeth whitening system may also include an opening in the wall through which a tooth whitening material may be dispensed into the channel. The tooth whitening system may alternatively include apertures in the wall or bite platform through which a tooth whitening material can be dispensed.

Oral treatment system

In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to oral care compositions comprising a source of zinc, a fluoride source, a zwitterionic surfactant and a taurate surfactant. In one aspect the compositions of the disclosure can be used for the treatment or reduction of erosive tooth demineralization, gingivitis, plaque, and dental caries. In one aspect the oral care composition includes zinc citrate, zinc oxide, arginine, cocamidopropyl betaine and at least one taurate surfactant (e.g., sodium methyl cocoyl taurate).

Oral care compositions

An oral treatment device that emits light onto surfaces of a user's teeth. In one aspect, the oral treatment device includes an intraoral mouthpiece. The mouthpiece comprises a lamp support structure comprising a lamp support surface and is formed of a first material. A flexible lamp is mounted to the lamp support surface so that a light emitting surface of the flexible lamp assumes a concave curvature, thereby forming a lamp assembly. A guard component is overmolded to the lamp assembly. In one embodiment, the oral treatment device may be a teeth whitening device.

Oral treatment device

Provided is an oral care composition and methods of making and using the same. The composition may include an orally acceptable vehicle, including pectin in an amount of from about 0.1% to about 1% by weight, an anticaries agent; and a moisturizing agent.

Oral care composition having enhanced appearance and form

Film forming compositions and methods for occluding dentin tubules of teeth to treat dentinal hypersensitivity of the teeth are provided. The film forming compositions may include a hydrophobic copolymer, a rosin, and an orally acceptable solvent. The hydrophobic copolymer may include an acrylate/octylacrylamide copolymer, such as 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 2-methylpropyl ester, polymer with 2-propenoic acid and N-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-2-propenamide. Methods for treating dentinal hypersensitivity may include contacting the film forming composition with surfaces of the teeth.

Oral care compositions and methods for the same

A oral treatment system that emits electromagnetic radiation onto surfaces of a user's teeth and may also dispense a oral treatment material for contact with the user's teeth. In one aspect, the oral treatment system includes a mouthpiece comprising a wall and a bite platform extending from the wall that collectively define a first channel for receiving a user's teeth; an electromagnetic radiation source coupled to the mouthpiece and configured to emit electromagnetic radiation onto surfaces of the user's teeth that are positioned in the first channel; and one or more apertures in at least one of the wall or the bite platform, the one or more apertures configured to dispense a oral treatment material to the first channel for contact with the surfaces of the user's teeth that are positioned in the first channel.

This invention relates to a dual phase mouthwash comprising a hydrophilic phase, a hydrophobic phase, and a hydrotrope, wherein the hydrophobic phase comprises coconut oil, as well as to methods of using and of making such compositions.

Oral care products and methods of use and manufacture therof

Described herein are oral care whitening compositions comprising a non-aqueous phase comprising a peroxysulfate whitening agent, a hydrophobic base and at least one hydrophilic polymer, and optionally an aqueous phase comprising at least one hydrophilic polymer. Methods of making and using these compositions are also described herein.

Oral care whitening compositions

An oral treatment device that emits light onto surfaces of a user's teeth. In one aspect, the oral treatment device includes an intraoral mouthpiece. The mouthpiece comprises a lamp support structure comprising a lamp support surface and is formed of a first material. A flexible lamp is mounted to the lamp support surface so that a light emitting surface of the flexible lamp assumes a concave curvature, thereby forming a lamp assembly. A guard component is overmolded to the lamp assembly. The guard component is formed of an elastomeric material having a hardness that is less than a hardness of the first material. In one embodiment, the oral treatment device may be a teeth whitening device.

This, intention relates to methods of assessing the bioflora of the mouth and of providing appropriate treatment utilizing a basic amino acid in accordance with the assessment.

Oral care methods and systems

The invention provides a method of measuring ammonia and/or calcium in a sample of dental plaque, comprising obtaining the sample of plaque and measuring ammonium and calcium ions using capillary electrophoresis, together with methods of diagnosis, treatment and screening based on evaluation of plaque.
