[Problems] To provide a chemical polymerization type curable composition which can achieve a very large strength of adhesion even without irradiated with light, and is used in the field of dental therapy. [Means for Solution] A dental curable composition comprising (A) a polymerizable monomer component containing an acidic group-containing polymerizable monomer, (B) water, and (C) a chemical polymerization initiator component comprising a radical-generating species and a reactive species that generates radicals upon reacting with the radical-generating species; wherein, the dental curable composition is stored being divided into a plurality of packages, and is polymerized and cured by mixing together the components contained in the packages; and wherein one package (I) among the packages contains the component (A) and the component (B), and, further, contains polyvalent metal ions in an amount of 0.3 to 10 meq per gram of the polymerizable monomer component (A) contained in the package; and the chemical polymerization initiator (C) is stored being divided into at least two packages so that the radical-generating species and the reactive species do not come in contact with each other.
