Treatment: Other: Streptococcus salivarius K12 Powder 1 Billion colony forming units /g)
Probiotic Streptococcus salivarius K12 products are commercially available in traditional formats such as lozenges for local delivery in the oral cavity to provide oral health benefits. In this study, a powder formulation will be evaluated for its potential of delivering probiotic Streptococcus salivarius K12 to the oral cavity.

Treatment: Other: Streptococcus salivarius K12 Powder (1 Billion colony forming units /g) with a prebiotic included
In this study, a powder formulation containing Streptococcus salivarius K12 and a prebiotic will be evaluated for its potential of delivering probiotic Streptococcus salivarius K12 to the oral cavity.

Treatment: Other: Streptococcus salivarius M18 Powder (1 Billion colony forming units /g)
In this study, a powder formulation will be evaluated for its potential of delivering probiotic Streptococcus salivarius M18 to the oral cavity.

Treatment: Other: Streptococcus salivarius M18 Powder (1 Billion colony forming units /g) with a prebiotic included
In this study, a powder formulation containing S. salivarius M18 and a prebiotic will be evaluated for its potential of delivering probiotic Streptococcus salivarius M18 to the oral cavity.
