This study is a six-week, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group controlled clinical study. The objective of this study is to evaluate the changes to the oral microbiome, inflammatory mediators, gingival health indices and to assess oral tolerance after 4 weeks of twice daily use of differing oral hygiene regimens including mouthwash compared to a control group. A follow-up assessment will be completed 2 weeks after cessation of treatments.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brush / Rinse (Distilled Water) | Placebo Comparator | All subjects will receive 2 tubes of a marketed fluoride-containing dentifrice (Crest® Cavity Protection Toothpaste) and 1 soft, flat trimmed bristled toothbrush at their Baseline visit to use throughout the study. The subjects will use their assigned study products and complete their oral care regimen for the first time at the site under supervision. At home, subjects will brush twice daily for one-timed minute with the toothpaste and toothbrush provided. After brushing for 1-timed minute, subjects will rinse with provided distilled water according to the label instructions. Subjects will be required to record their twice-daily product usage in a subject diary. |

Exclusion Criteria:

Periodontitis, as determined by more than 2 sites with a probing depth greater than 4mm.
Regular consumption of probiotics supplements within one week prior to screening. Subjects can be rescreened if they fulfill this criterion.
Dental prophylaxis within 4 weeks prior to screening. Subjects can be rescreened if they fulfill this criterion.
Subjects who wear orthodontic bands, fixed retainers, removable orthodontic appliances, clear aligners or night guards or subjects who have had significant (based on the examiner or PI's oral exam) cosmetic restorations.

Self-reported tobacco, cannabis, smokeless tobacco use, including snuff, chewing tobacco, vaping, and e-cigarette usage.
Suspected alcohol or substance abuse.
Significant unstable or uncontrolled medical condition which may interfere with a subject's participation in the study, at the discretion of the Investigator, including a history of or a concurrent health/other condition/situation which may put the individual at significant risk, confound the study results, or interfere significantly with the individual's participation in the study.
Has self-reported Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes or is on an anti-diabetic medication (i.e., metformin, insulin, Glucophage, etc.)
Is taking a medication that would mask an Adverse Event (AE) or confound the study results, including:
Is self-reported to be pregnant, in lactation, planning to become pregnant during the study, or positive pregnancy urine tests (females of child-bearing potential only):
For females: Postmenopausal state (i.e., at least 1 year without menses without an alternative medical condition prior to the first study IP administration) or premenopausal/perimenopausal state with an effective means of contraception.
Females of childbearing potential must be using a medically acceptable method of birth control for at least one month prior to Visit 1 and agree to continue using this method during their participation in the clinical trial. Medically acceptable forms of birth control that may be used by the subject and/or his/her partner include:
For males: No pregnant or lactating spouse or partner at screening and willingness to utilize an acceptable form of birth control with spouse or any potential partner during the study and for 30 days thereafter.
Participation in any clinical trial within 30 days of the Screening visit.
