Disclosed is a composition that is easily applied and readily adheres to a tooth structure and that can chemically and physically interact with the tooth structure. A novel silica-based bioactive glass composition having a particle size range of less than 90 μm, the composition can be used with a delivery agent such as toothpaste, gel, etc. Rapid and continuous reaction of body and core fluids from immediate and long-term ion release of Ca and P from core silica particles to produce a stable crystalline hydroxy carbonate apatite layer deposited on and into dental tubules New bioactive glass composition that allows for immediate and long-term recovery of tooth sensitivity and remineralization of the tooth surface.
