2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, attempts have been made to mix various polishing components into toothpaste components as one of means for preventing and removing plaque, tartar, etc., but products that satisfy the specified requirements are still available. It has not been developed yet, and it is still required to develop a dentifrice composition having a greater effect of use.

DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention
It is an object of the present invention to provide a highly safe dentifrice composition which can easily remove coloring caused by tartar, smoking, etc. and also has an excellent feeling after use.

[0004]

The present invention is a toothpaste composition characterized by containing a bamboo charcoal powder, and preferably the bamboo charcoal powder is obtained by drilling hard bamboo charcoal. It is a thing.

The bamboo charcoal powder used in the dentifrice composition of the present invention is a fine powder of bamboo charcoal, but a fine powder of water-precipitating hard bamboo charcoal is preferably used. The powder used in the present invention is preferably a powder obtained when a small piece of about 1 to 2 cm is drilled with a bamboo charcoal piece by a drill typified by a concrete drill. For example, the powder is pulverized by a polishing means such as a file or a crushing means such as a ball mill. The ones that you do are less effective.
This means that the pulverizing means influences the surface characteristics of the powder and the like, and the drilling treatment gives a powder having a remarkably excellent effect for the purpose of the present invention.

The powder used in the present invention is preferably a hard powder having a water-settling property, but this characteristic can be easily confirmed by mixing the powder in water and allowing it to stand still.
The particle size is usually about 0.5 to 30 microns. The powder of the present invention is usually added in an amount of 0.05 to 5% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 3% by weight, based on the total weight of the dentifrice.

As components other than the above powder in the dentifrice composition of the present invention, the components used in conventional dentifrice compositions can be used. For example, binders, moisturizers,
Thickeners, surfactants, sweeteners, fragrances, preservatives, medicinal ingredients and the like are appropriately added. Further, an appropriately known abrasive may be used together. The form of toothpaste may be an appropriate form such as toothpaste, powder toothpaste, liquid toothpaste, but toothpaste is usually preferred.

Example A powder was obtained by making a large number of holes in a hard bamboo charcoal having a diameter of about 5 cm with a concrete drill. This powder was put in water and stirred, and the powder that precipitated was taken out and dried. This dry powder was kneaded with a commercially available toothpaste (Denter Lion (trademark) toothpaste manufactured by Lion Corporation) in an amount of 3% by weight. Using this dentifrice composition, 5 panelists (2 of whom are long-term smokers) brushed their teeth twice a day, as in daily life. All of the panelists recognized a slippery feeling and whitening of the teeth with a single brushing operation, and in particular, a significant improvement in the coloring of the back of the teeth of smokers.

Further, although the dentifrice composition is black, it can be quickly and completely removed from the mouth by normal rinsing.
All panelists reported an increase in the refreshing feeling and smoothness of teeth after use. Three days later, the smokers' teeth were almost completely discolored on the back of the teeth, and all panelists had plaque and tartar removed, significantly improving whiteness and smoothness, and showing that the gums had become firm. I reported that I felt it.
