Foamable fluoride oral care composition

A foamable dental fluoride composition packaged in a foam generating container, the composition comprising an aqueous solution of:

• a water soluble fluoride ion releasable salt;
• a surface active agent selected from the group consisting of zwitterionic surfactants, betaine surfactants, and mixtures thereof, said surface active agent being present in an amount from 0.1% to 1.5% by weight;
• and
• an orally compatible acidifying agent comprising malic acid in an amount sufficient to adjust the pH of the composition to about 3 to about 5,
• wherein the composition when dispensed from the container into the trough of a dental tray forms a rapidly collapsible foam that liquefies in about 1 minute after being dispensed from the foam generating container and placed in contact with a patient's teeth,
• further wherein the composition is stable and clear for at least 12 hours at 4.4° C. (40° F.).
