PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a composition for oral cavities, good in the use feeling and capable of effectively removing bacterial plaques causing dental caries, periodontal diseases, etc. SOLUTION: This composition for oral cavities contains granulate cellulose having an average particle diameter of 50-1,000μm, preferably 70-700μm, in a dry state and obtained by granulating water-insoluble cellulose powder having an average particle diameter of 1-50μm in an amount of 0.2-20wt.%, preferably 0.5-10wt.%. The composition further contains conventional abrasive agent, binder, surfactant, medicinally active ingredient, perfume, pigment, etc., and may be prepared into a tooth paste, a liquid dentifrice, a gingival massage cream, a paste local coating agent, etc. Pulp powder, insoluble powder cellulose, powderα-cellulose, fine crystalline cellulose, pulp, chemically treated insoluble cellulose or other insoluble cellulose substances are used as a raw material for water- insoluble particulate cellulose, and can be granulated by a conventional method.
