TOOTHPASTE COMPOSITION FOR DENTIN HYPERSENSITIVITY

摘要

Provided is a toothpaste composition for dentin hypersensitivity that effectively prevents pain attributed to dentin hypersensitivity, instantaneously and sufficiently seals the openings of dentinal tubules in an exposed dentinal surface, and has excellent sustainability of the effect of suppressing the pain attributed to dentin hypersensitivity. The toothpaste composition for dentin hypersensitivity comprises the following components (A), (B), and (C): (A) a powder having a sparingly water-soluble property selected from a fatty acid divalent metal salt (A-1) derived from a saturated fatty acid having from 12 to 18 carbon atoms, a fatty acid acyllysine (A-2) having an acyl group derived from a saturated fatty acid having from 12 to 18 carbon atoms, and a fatty acid acyltaurine divalent metal salt (A-3) having an acyl group derived from a saturated fatty acid having from 12 to 18 carbon atoms; (B) a desensitizing agent selected from potassium nitrate, potassium citrate, strontium chloride, and strontium acetate; and (C) water; in which a mass ratio ((A)/(B)) of the component (A) to the component (B) is from 0.02 to 0.5.
