Brief summary:
This study is 8 weeks long. People participating in this study will be asked to brush their teeth two times a day. Some people will get a mouthwash. People with a mouthwash will rinse two times a day after brushing their teeth. The mouth, teeth, tongue and gums will be looked at by a dentist. The dentist will look at the mouth to make sure the mouthwash does not irritate the mouth. The dentist will also look at the color of the teeth and amount of stain on the front teeth.

Detailed description:
This is an 8-week, randomized, observer-blind, controlled, parallel group clinical study design to assess the oral tissue tolerance of a potassium oxalate containing mouthrinse. Subjects will have their oral soft/hard tissues assessed and will be evaluated for stain levels and tooth color shades at Screening/Baseline (Visit 1), Week 4 (Visit 2), Week 6 (Visit 3) and Week 8 (Visit 4). Subjects will be instructed to brush their teeth two times daily in their usual manner using the provided sodium fluoride toothpaste. Subjects assigned to the mouthrinse group will be instructed to rinse twice daily after brushing.
