Abstract: The present disclosure provides a chewable composition for teeth-whitening, comprising a first chewable composition and a second chewable composition, that when combined in the mouth and actuated by mastication provide cosmetic enhancement and chemotherapeutic activity. In some aspects, the first chewable composition comprises carbamide peroxide having water content of about 2% or less, an anhydrous chewing gum base having water content of about 2% or less, and tableting excipients having a water content of 2% or less; and the second chewable composition comprises a gum base, a source of bicarbonate ion, and one or more gum additives. The disclosure also provides a kit comprising the first and second separate chewable compositions, and methods for whitening teeth and freshening the breath, and also for reducing the levels of the oral pathogen sources of periodontal diseases and halitosis using the compositions and kits described herein.
