Abstract:
The present invention provides an oral care composition comprising from 3 to 12 weight % calcium pyrophosphate and from 10 to 19 weight % precipitated silica, based on the total weight of the composition, wherein the precipitated silica has a pellicle cleaning ratio of greater than 85. The present invention further provides a method of cleaning and/or polishing and/or whitening an oral surface comprising contacting the oral surface with the oral care composition.

Abstract:
Described herein are oral care compositions comprising (i) a magnesium alkali metal silicate complex clay, and (ii) an orally acceptable anionic polymer, in a dentifrice base, which compositions are useful for alleviating dental sensitivity. Also provided for, are methods of making and using the compositions described herein.
Abstract:
An oral care composition includes an effective amount of calcium silicate particles. The calcium silicate particles have an average diameter of less than about 5 microns, such that they can occlude dentinal tubules of the teeth. An oral care method includes applying the composition to an oral cavity of a subject to reduce or inhibit hypersensitivity of the teeth and to achieve other benefits.
