| abstract |
A dental treating composition and method are disclosed which reduces dental plaque and inhibits future formation of the same, when the dental treating composition is used on regular basis. Sodium alginate is used as a calcium ion chelating agent which weakens the bond between the plaque and the teeth thereby allowing easy removal by subsequent brushing. The use of benzalkonium chloride and zinc sulfate with the composition provides for desensitizing the teeth and elimination of halitosis. |
