A three-part method of cleaning a user's teeth and/or gums is disclosed. First, a user applies a tonic of essential oils to the user's teeth and/or gums by either brushing, rubbing, rinsing and/or flossing with the tonic thereby destroying harmful bacteria. Second, the user brushes with a toothpaste having nano-hydroxyapatite being particles of 50 nanometers or smaller. The nano-hydroxyapatite is absorbed into the surface opening inside dentinal tubules of the teeth. Third, the user seeds their mouth with an oral probiotic having beneficial bacteria. The third step must come after both the first and second steps.

The present invention relates to the use of Ca.sub.5(PO.sub.4).sub.3(OH) (hydroxyapatite; HAP) and a dental care composition comprising Ca.sub.5(PO.sub.4).sub.3(OH) for the deep-layer remineralization of demineralized teeth, in particular for the deep-layer remineralization of demineralized dental enamel. Ca.sub.5(PO.sub.4).sub.3(OH) used according to the invention and the dental care composition used according to the invention can be applied in the treatment and/or prevention of various diseases affecting the teeth, in particular caries.

The present disclosure generally provides the use glucosylated natural steviol glycosides (GSGs) to reduce certain undesirable taste notes common to oral care products. In related aspects, the disclosure provides compositions that comprise GSGs and one or more ingredients that give rise to certain undesirable taste notes. In some embodiments, such compositions are in the form of a food product, a beverage product, or an oral care product, such as a toothpaste, a mouthwash, a tooth-whitening composition, and the like.

A method for strengthening and repairing keratin fibres including providing a first—and a second crosslinking composition, wherein the first—crosslinking composition comprises an at least bi-functional Brønsted-base and the second—crosslinking composition comprises—an at least bi-functional organic acid, and a cosmetically acceptable carrier; applying the first—as well as the second—crosslinking composition to keratin fibres; and optionally mixing the first—crosslinking composition into a commercially available hair coloring or hair bleaching composition.

Semisolid oral dispersions for improving the health and/or appearance of the oral cavity. The semisolid oral dispersions include hydrophilic active agent particles in hydrophobic phase. The hydrophilic active agent particles can include bleaching agents, antimicrobial agents, anticalculus agents, and/or combinations thereof. The hydrophilic active agent particle can have a solubility in water of at least about 20 parts, by weight of the particles, in about 100 parts, by weight, of water.

Disclosed are compositions that include a combination of natural tooth powder ingredients pressed into tablet form, and methods of making the composition, and to methods of enhancing dental hygiene that includes administration of the composition. The compositions include natural ingredients such as xylitol and at least one tooth cleaning agent, and can be formed into a tablet suitable for cleaning the teeth without the use of a toothbrush or water.
