An oral composition such as a toothpaste (including gel or cream), mouthwash, lozenge, chewing gum or tooth powder containing a calculus-inhibiting amount of a linear molecularly dehydrated polyphosphate salt and, as inhibitor of enzymatic hydrolysis of said polyphosphate salt in saliva, a synthetic polyvinyl phosphonate. A fluoride-ion providing source may also be present to further inhibit the enzymatic hydrolysis of said polyphosphate salt.
