[edit] Is this biased?
I don't know enough about the subject to claim that this is biased, and maybe it's just because it is very incomplete, but it makes the chemical sound so bad that it would make a better terrorist weapon then a mouthwash ingredient. It sounds like an attempt to get people to switch to listerine brand or something.
Can that really be true? A Google search quickly turns up studys that show that it does indeed reduce oral bacteria, contrary to what this article claims...
Someone smarter than me should look at this article.

- I don't believe it is. Cetylpyridinium Cl has, to the best of my knowledge, always come with the caveat that it can cause temporary discoloring of the enamel. It might be effective as an oral health product, but it's not without its faults. Exigence (talk) 19:00, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
- Nowhere on the Crest website, linked to by reference number 4, does it claim that brown stains are a possible side-effect of using the mouthwash. I checked the site thoroughly and have removed the invalid reference in the introduction. The only thing I saw that was remotely close to this was the fact that the blue dyes in the "Clean Mint" flavour can stain some dental work and can cause temporary stains on teeth (which are removed with normal eating/drinking).Mkubica (talk) 03:23, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Browned between my teeth
I have been using Crest Prohealth for a little over 2 years now. I brush using proper procedure at least twice a day. I have noticed in the past few months that the spaces between my teeth are stained brown. I recall reading about this a year ago but forgot until I read it again on this Wikipedia page. Definitely seems to match my experience.
