Abstract
The invention relates to a dental treatment composition comprising a particulate erasing agent, the particles of the erasing agent being dimensioned to roll along a surface. The particles have an average maximum diameter of between 30 and 1000 microns and consist of a precipitate of calcium carbonate. As the particles are round, when applied to a dental surface the particles roll along the surface picking up debris, stains, plaque, tartar or the like from the surface without damaging the dental surface. A method of treating teeth which employs a dental treatment composition of the invention is also disclosed.
