Inclusion Criteria: Inclusion: 1. Patients who have undergone radiation treatment to the head and neck at U.T. M. D.

Patients with >/= 10 teeth. 3. Patients with >/= 100,000 CFU/ ml S. mutans in the baseline microbiological sample (i.e., supragingival curette sampling). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients using antibiotics in the past 4 weeks. (Note: A subject may have antibiotics administered during the study evaluation period, for unforeseen medical reasons. The patients will not be removed from the study and the plaque samples will be evaluated for descriptive assessment with the concomitant medication(s) recorded to determine if changes between the subject's samples were globally outside the range of changes for the population as a whole.) 2. Patients using chlorhexidine gluconate or antimicrobial rinses in past 2 weeks. 3. Patients under the age of 18. 4. Patients unable to return to dental clinic over the 20-week study period. 5.
