Abstract: A kit and method for whitening teeth is provided which utilizes a U-shaped dental tray fittable over a person's teeth and a bleaching composition formed from a combination of first and second compositions which prior to use are stored separately from one another. The first composition includes a peroxide and the second composition includes an alkaline material. At least one of the first and second compositions includes an anionic surfactant; the latter permits the bleaching composition to better penetrate all surfaces surrounding the teeth.

Abstract: An anti-tartar oral product is provided which includes from about 0.001 to about 20% of beads which include a zinc salt and a gum held in a water matrix, the zinc salt and gum being present in a relative weight ratio from about 10,000:1 to about 10:1, and a dental base.

Abstract: An oral product and method is provided for inhibiting tartar formation on the teeth. The product is housed in a container and includes a first composition containing a water soluble calcium phosphate salt or monolithic combination of calcium and phosphate salts in a carrier with the first composition having a pH less than 7, and a second composition containing an alkaline material and a fluoride ion source in a carrier to achieve a pH greater than 7.5. The first and second compositions are separated from one another prior to use. When combined upon application to the teeth, the first and second compositions form a system for inhibiting tartar around the teeth.

Abstract: An oral product and method is provided for remineralizing teeth. The product includes a first composition containing a water soluble calcium phosphate salt or monolithic combination of calcium and phosphate salts in a carrier with the first composition having a pH less than 7, and a second composition containing an alkaline material and a fluoride ion source in a carrier to achieve a pH greater than 7.5. The first and second compositions are separated from one another prior to use. When combined upon application to teeth, the first and second compositions generate hydroxyapatite depositing same on dental enamel.
