Methods for making oral compositions

Aqueous dentifrice compositions triclosan, anabrasive, a fluoride ion source, a polyethylene glycol, a flavor oil, a surfactant and water wherein triclosan is mixed with polyethylene glycol nd flavor oil to form a triclosan microemulsion premix wherein the particle size of the triclosan, flavor and surfactant aggregate are less than about 12 nanometers in diameter by quasi elastic light scattering analysis when said microemulsion premix, consisting of the flavor, polyethylene glycol, and tuclosan is mixed with surfactant, water, and fluoride, and wherein the ratio of surfactant to triclosan plus flavor oil is equal to or greater than the critical point where the microemulsion of the triclosan will form.
