- Agree to delay any elective dentistry (including dental prophylaxis) until the study has been completed;
- Agree to maintain their current oral hygiene routine between the Screening and Baseline Visit and not to add/change their oral care products during this time;
- Agree to refrain from any form of non-specified oral hygiene during the treatment periods (after the Baseline Visit), including but not limited to the use of products such as floss or whitening products;
- Agree to return for all scheduled visits and follow study procedures;
- Must have at least 16 natural teeth;

- Have rampant caries, open or untreated caries, or advanced periodontitis requiring prompt treatment;
- Need an antibiotic prophylaxis prior to dental visits;
- A history of hypersensitivity to oral care products containing stannous fluoride;
- A history of hypersensitivity to dyes (from products containing food dyes);
