Toothpaste to reduce dental tartar
Part of Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a special toothpaste that may help remove tartar (hard buildup) from your teeth. If you have gum disease or gingivitis and are getting regular dental care, this toothpaste might make it easier to keep your teeth clean.
