Abstract
This invention has identified two compositions, pimento berry oil and terpeneless bay oil, which are effective as antimicrobial agents against cariogenic streptoccus mutans and Lactobaccilli casei and fermenti. These active compositions, when employed in oral preparations and used in an effective regimen of repeated application to these bacteria in the mouth, are useful in reducing dental plaque and dental caries.
