A dental bleaching device may include a flexible backing material, and a dental composition in contact with the flexible backing material. The dental composition may include a thickening agent and a peroxide bleaching agent. The dental composition may be a gelatinous compound having physical deformation properties that allow the dental composition to bend and conform to a shape of a container into which the dental composition is placed, but the dental composition will not merge into a second piece of the dental composition when placed in contact with the second piece. The dental composition will not crack or break when the dental bleaching device is flexed.

The present invention provides the use of composition a as an antimicrobial agent, wherein the composition comprises anethole, an anionic surfactant, and an orally acceptable vehicle, wherein the composition is free from additional flavor ingredients; and a method of increasing the resistance of a composition to microbial attack, the method comprising formulating the composition so as to comprise anethole, an anionic surfactant, and an orally acceptable vehicle, wherein the composition is free from additional flavor ingredients. The present invention also provides a method of making an oral care composition.
