Obviously, thiR is only an example and any other embodiment ~ and/or variant thereof could also be envisaged without `~ departing from the scope of this invention.
An aqueous solution of 1 mg/ml methylene blue was prepared.
To 5~g of fluorine-based tooth-paste, presiently available in the trade, weighed in a porcelain or pyrex cup, have been mixed 500 ~1 or 1 ml of the methylene blue solution, that is 0.125 or 0.250 ~M per gram of tooth-paste. The concentration is chosen so as to obtain a good initial coloration of the tooth-paste.

The colored tooth-paste has been added, at the moment of use, a reducing ;~ ;~agent constituted by sodium ascorbate in powder form, according to a ;~
proportion of 90 mg of sodium ascorbate for 5 g of tooth-paste, A pure ;
decoloration of the tooth-paste has been observed after a brushing time of about 3 minutes.
In order to put in practical use the tooth-paste which is the object of the present invention, this tooth-paste is conditioned in a standard tube comprising one or several columns in which is placed the sodium`~
ascGrbate, the standard fluorine-based tooth-paste occupying the `~
cylindral volume available about the sodium ascorbate columns, the tooth-paste plus sodium ascorbate mixture being thus provided at the moment of use by pressing the tube in the usual manner.
