Optionally, the composition can include flavoring agent, artificial, non-caloric sweetener, surface active agent, anti-bacterial agent, astringent agent, desensitizing agent, fluoride containing anti-caries agent, gelling agent, chloropyhyllin salt, coloring agent, hydrogen peroxide source and/or excipient. The effervescent dentifrice is preferably employed as one component of a kit also including a debriding product, a hydrogen peroxide product and a bicarbonate dentifrice, the components of the kit being used in combination on a daily basis to synergistically achieve enhanced preventative and remedial oral hygiene.
