| abstract |
The present invention relates to an oral composition for inhibiting calculus formation, containing an anionic sequestering agent and a cationic polymer and, more specifically, to an oral composition in which a phosphate-based anionic sequestering agent and a polyquaternium-based cationic polymer form a coacervate during teeth brushing such that the coacervate adheres to the surface of the teeth, thereby allowing the anionic sequestering agent, which is an ingredient inhibiting calculus formation, to remain in the mouth for a long time even after rinsing. The oral composition for inhibiting calculus formation, of the present invention, can effectively prevent calculus formation on the surface of teeth and can simultaneously improve foaming power while maintaining the flavor of a toothpaste. |
