More Information
Summary:Stable topical oral compositions comprising at least a minimally effective amount of chlorite ion are disclosed, wherein the pH of the final composition is greater than 7, the composition is essentially free of chlorine dioxide, and the composition is stable against loss of chlorite for a period of at least one year under normal storage conditions at about 25° C. or for a period of 3 months under accelerated storage conditions at about 40° C. Preferably the compositions further comprise a flavor system, which is stable against degradation by chlorite. The compositions are formulated as therapeutic rinses, especially mouth rinses, as well as toothpastes, gels, tooth powders, chewing gums, mouth sprays, lozenges (including breath mints), dental implements (such as dental floss and tape), and pet care products.
