Abstract
Disclosed is an oral hygiene preparation which is plaque disrupting in the form of a chewing gum. The chewing gum comprises a core containing a carbonate and/or bicarbonate which is surrounded by a coating that contains an encapsulated edible acid. Upon mastication the chewing gum effervesces, thus promoting the cleansing and breath freshening properties of the preparation.
