PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an oral care product for tongue coat removal, which is effective for bad breath prevention.SOLUTION: The oral care product is obtained by allowing a fibrous base being the aggregation of fine fibers such as a non-woven cloth, gauze, and cut cotton to be a size of about 2-3 cm suitable for insertion into an oral cavity, allowing the fibrous base to contain additives for taste such as a flavoring agent and a sweetening agent, and a medical additive such as an anti-inflammatory agent, and performing individual packaging for the wiping-off of a tongue body in the oral cavity or chewing in the oral cavity. The tongue coat remaining by adhesion on the tongue body is effectively removed so as to prevent the bad breath due to the tongue coat. Chewing gum for chewing and a tasty thing such as gummy candy are laminated or mixed in the fibrous base. The fibrous base is formed as a folded sheet and has a through-hole for inserting the tongue body by expansion, so as to wipe off the side edges of the tongue.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】 口臭予防に有効な舌苔除去用の口腔ケア品を提供する。【解決手段】 不織布、ガーゼ、カット綿等の微細繊維質を集合した繊維質ベースを、2~3cm程度の口腔内挿入に適した大きさとして、該繊維質ベースに着香剤、甘味剤等の嗜好用添加物や、抗炎症剤等の薬用添加物を含有して、口腔内舌体拭き取り又は口腔内咀嚼用として個装して口腔ケア品とする。舌体に残存付着した舌苔を有効に除去して、該舌苔に起因する口臭を予防することが可能になる。上記繊維質ベースに、咀嚼用のチューインガム、グミ等の嗜好品を積層乃至混合配置すること、繊維質ベースを折畳みシートとして、拡開によって舌体を挿入する透孔を備えて、舌側縁の拭き取りを可能とすることもできる。
