Claim 0:
1. A cleaning composition for cleaning teeth, said composition comprising:
(a) a friction component comprising a mixture of:
fibrillated polymer comprising thicker fibrils and thinner fibrils branched from said thicker fibrils, wherein said thicker fibrils have a diameter of about 250 nm to about 20,000 nm, and
(ii) 10% to 40% (w/w based on the composition) of abrasive particles, wherein said abrasive particles are compatible with a fluoride source, and said abrasive particles have an average diameter of 5 microns to 50 microns and a hardness of less than 3 on a Mohs Hardness Scale,

wherein said abrasive particles are entangled in a network of said thicker fibrils and said thinner fibrils of said fibrillated polymer; and
(b) a sufficient amount of water as a carrier, wherein said composition has viscoelastic fluid properties.
