An antibacterial oral composition effective to promote oral hygiene containing an antibacterial antiplaque agent and an additive which reduces staining of dental surfaces caused by the antibacterial antiplaque agent without substantially diminishing the antibacterial and antiplaque activity of the agent. Bis-biguanido hexanes, such as chlorhexidine and alexidine, and quaternary ammonium salts, such as benzethonium chloride and cetyl pyridinium chloride, are typical examples of antibacterial agents. The stain reduction additive is a polyamine polyphosphonic compound, such as ethylenediamine tetra(methylene phosphonic acid) and salts thereof.

An oral composition comprising an oral vehicle, a quaternary ammonium antibacterial antiplaque agent tending to cause staining of dental surfaces and antibacterial agent being present in amount which provides about 0.001% to about 15% by weight based on the free base form thereof and an amount of at least about 0.01% by weight of a water soluble polyamine polyphosphonic compound stain reducing agent, which amount of at least about 0.01% by weight is such that upon ingestion an adverse effect does not occur, said polyamine polyphosphonic having the formula: [Figure] wherein n is a number from 1 to 10 and X is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and an orally acceptable cation and said polyamine polyphosphonic compound reduces stain formed by said antibacterial antiplaque agent.
