To provide a dental alginate impression material composition without the defects of the conventional alginate impression material compositions using a pH indicator, that the confirmation of the completion of the gelation is inaccurate and difficult, and that they are poor in the affinity with water to be used during the mixing, the dental alginate impression material composition containing an alginate, a gelling reaction material, a gelling adjustment material, and a filler as major components further contains 0.001 to 0.1% by weight of one or more pH indicators selected from Cresol Red, alpha-naphtholphthalein, Tropaeolin OOO, Thymol Blue, and phenolphthalein; 0.1 to 10% by weight of a water-soluble polyether that is a liquid at 25 ° C.; and 0.001 to 5% by weight of an inorganic pigment and/or an organic pigment having a color distinctly different from a color tone caused by color formation of the pH indicator during the gelation upon mixing with water.
