how can i brush more effectively?
Brushing
twice daily has proven to be very important for maintaining the health of the
mouth. Not only does brushing aid with decreasing the risk of decay settling in
but also prevents bad breath! However, at times we may feel we are not
effectively brushing and may become curious to identify the areas we need to target
better – Disclosing Tablets are the perfect solution!
What are Disclosing Tablets?
Disclosing
Tablets are designed to reveal adhered tooth plaque and impacted food around
the teeth where the toothbrush has not fully cleaned with a temporary stain.
How do you use Disclosing Tablets?
One
tablet is chewed for 30 seconds, with the saliva produced wash this over the
teeth and through the gaps in-between your teeth. Spit the tablet and the
stained saliva directly into the sink with the tap running. Now you are ready
to inspect the stains!
How is the plaque revealed?
Red
stains indicate 1 to 3 day old plaque whilst blue stains indicate over 3 day
old plaque.
How do I remove the stains?
Brush the
teeth as normal to remove all staining. It may be necessary to use interdental
brushes and dental floss to remove the hard-to-reach stains, i.e., in-between
teeth.
Why are Disclosing Tablets useful?
Disclosing
Tablets are not only designed to ensure you are able to identify those areas of the
mouth where brushing is not as effective but also have proven to be an
invaluable educational tool for both children and adults! The product is very
easy to use and has the ability to teach the user a more thorough brushing
technique in a new and fun way!
