ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to compositions comprising: (a) from about 15% to about 70% by weight of the composition of a denture adhesive component; (b) a safe and effective amount of a colorant selected from the group consisting of xanthene dyes, fluorescein dyes, free acids and salts thereof, and mixtures thereof; and (c) a safe and effective amount of a non-aqueous denture adhesive carrier. The present invention further relates to a method of reducing, inhibiting and/or preventing, calculus, tartar, plaque, stain, and/or microbes in the oral cavity, by applying the above denture adhesive composition to the oral cavity of a denture wearer in need thereof. The present invention further relates to a method of providing improved antimicrobial effects in the oral cavity by applying the above denture adhesive composition to the oral cavity of a denture wearer in need thereof.
