1. A method for delivering one or more oral care active agents to a mammal's mouth, the method comprising the steps:
a. providing a water-soluble nonwoven web comprising a plurality of water-soluble meltblown filaments and/or fibers produced from a filament-forming composition comprising from about 20% to about 80% by weight of the filament-forming composition of water, wherein the plurality of water-soluble meltblown filaments and/or fibers comprise of only one water-soluble filament-forming material and two or more oral care active agents present in the water-soluble filament-forming material that are releasable from the plurality of water-soluble meltblown filaments and/or fibers when the plurality of water-soluble meltblown filaments and/or fibers are exposed to conditions of intended use, wherein the total level of the water-soluble filament-forming material present in the plurality of water-soluble meltblown filaments and/or fibers is 80% or less by weight on a dry filament basis and the total level of the two or more oral care active agents present in the plurality of water-soluble meltblown filaments and/or fibers is 20% or greater by weight on a dry filament basis; and
