Oral gel composition and use thereof

Abstract

An oral gel composition to be applied to the gums and to remain thereon for at least 3 minutes, is used for oral care, and in particular for effective treatment of (i.e. reducing and preventing) periodontitis/gingivitis and gum recession. The oral gel composition includes at least 0.00001 and less than 0.5% by weight caffeine and a gelling agent. The oral gel composition allows cell metabolism to be activated and thus allows effective treatment and/or prevention of periodontitis/gingivitis and gum recession.
