Summary
This study tests whether a whitening toothpaste can help maintain the whitening effect of a professional dental cleaning. Fifty healthy adults will use either the whitening toothpaste or a regular toothpaste three times daily for four weeks. Researchers will measure teeth color and brightness at the end of the study to see if the whitening toothpaste works better.
