DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The compilation of the ingredients into a dentifrice composition has been made because of the specific properties of each of the ingredients and that the combination has been found to complement each other in providing an effective dentifrice composition, which not only more effectively cleans the teeth, but assists in the prevention of caries, tooth disease and relieves the symptoms resulting from existing tooth and gum problems.
Ginger has been utilized in the present invention because it contains certain aromatic volatile oils which assist in relieving pain.
In addition, dry ginger provides good cleaning ability with low abrasion.
The ginger used is in the form of a powder and is the scraped, dried rhizome of Zingiber officinalis (Scitaminaceae).
Magnesium silicate is known for its use as an astringent and for use in the treatment of ulcers.
Additionally, magnesium silicate provides a sufficient abrasive effect so as to assist in the prevention of the formation of tartar.
Sodium chloride has long been known for its use as a dentifrice.
In addition, sodium chloride has long been used as an astringent in the treatment of wounds.
Borax is utilized for its effectiveness as an antiseptic, astringent and detergent.
In addition, it provides a nonirritating wash for mucus membranes which makes it suitable for utilization during the presence of tooth disease.
Catechu is the extract of the dark heartwood of Acacia catechu.
Because of the presence of catechin and other alkaloids, catechu is known to be effective as an astringent.
However, in combination with the other ingredients of the dentifrice composition, it assists in the prevention of tooth disease.
Piper nigrum, from which black pepper is derived, contains volatile oils, piperine, piperdine, chavicin and other active ingredients and is recognized as containing carminative and mildly antipyretic properties.
In addition, it has been found to enhance the cleaning of teeth and to assist in the prevention of tooth disease
