Mouth rinses often contain a disclosing agent that’s less noticeable than tablets. This can make it harder to see the dye on your teeth. Studies show orthodontic patients who use plaque disclosing tablets at home have less plaque and healthier gums than those who don’t. 1 They can offer a convenient and guilt-free way to keep your teeth clean, especially whilst traveling,” adds Rahman. Water-free, they’re TSA-friendly and conveniently lightweight. Whilst this guidance seeks to ensure a consistent UK-wide approach to prevention of oral diseases, some differences in operational delivery and organisational responsibilities may apply in Wales, Northern Ireland and England. In Scotland the guidance will be used to inform oral health improvement policy. Spit into the sink with the water running. Be careful because the dye can stain surfaces. Rinse it away immediately.

Rinse your mouth and spit out the dye. If any dye gets on your lips or the skin around your mouth, clean it immediately to prevent stains.Another thing to watch out for that you don’t want is sodium lauryl sulfate, known as SLS. It’s a foaming agent most often found in soaps and toothpastes but is a no-no for two reasons. Firstly, it can cause irritation and mouth ulcers and secondly, it may be derived from palm oil, which is a huge contributor to tropical deforestation. For caries prevention, it is the application of fluoride in toothpaste that is the most important aspect of brushing, as fluoride helps prevent, control, and arrest caries ( Chapter 2: Table 1). Higher concentration of fluoride in toothpaste leads to better caries control. Family or standard fluoride toothpaste at 1,350 to 1,500 parts per million fluoride ( ppmF) is recommended, although in very young children, where the ability to control swallowing is limited, a toothpaste containing a lower amount (at least 1,000 ppmF) can be used [footnote 3] [footnote 4]. Frequency of brushing is important. Brushing should occur twice daily as a minimum, the guidance being to clean teeth last thing at night or before bed, and at least one other time each day. The term ‘before bed’ may be used as an alternative to ‘last thing at night’ for shift workers to sleep at another time of day. Developed to clean porcelain and acrylic resin dentures, they can be used to clean similar household surfaces. Learn some ways to use denture tablets as you clean around the house. Based on current evidence, no strong conclusions can be drawn concerning any specific oral hygiene devices as adjuncts to toothbrushing for patient self-care in periodontal maintenance [footnote 5][ Tablets are the easiest product for many people. This is because they contain a more potent dye, making it easier to see dental plaque on the teeth.

Oral hygiene practices include toothbrushing and the use of other aids for cleaning teeth. Toothbrushing is widely practiced across the UK. In a 2009 national survey of adults [footnote 1], more women reported cleaning their teeth at least twice a day than men (82% compared with 67%). Three quarters (76%) of dentate adults reported using toothpaste with 1,350 to 1,500 parts per million level of fluoride and a further 18 per cent used a brand with a medium (1,000 to 1,350 parts per million) fluoride level. Most dentate adults (58%) used additional products as well as a standard toothpaste and brush, the most common of which were mouthwash (31%), powered toothbrushes (26%) and dental floss (21%). Women and middle-aged adults were more likely to use additional products than men, younger and very old adults (85 years and over). Use a fluoridated rinse afterwards to prevent cavities, as rinsing after brushing with a toothpaste will negate any anti-cavity properties of the toothpaste.Dental disclosing tablets contain a harmless pink or purple dye that reacts with plaque on your teeth. Chewing a tablet activates the dye, temporarily revealing plaque that remains in your mouth after you brush and floss. Self-care is vitally important to prevent and manage plaque-induced periodontitis [footnote 5] ( Chapter 2: Table 2). For people with periodontal diseases this becomes vitally important throughout the rest of life and good oral hygiene may take longer than the recommended 2 minutes. The patient’s existing method of brushing may need to be modified to clean all tooth surfaces systematically, maximise plaque removal and to brush the gum line carefully [footnote 6]. No particular technique has been shown to be better than another [footnote 7]. Disclosing tablets can help to indicate areas that are being missed. For people with extensive inflammation, it is good practice to start with toothbrushing advice, followed by interdental plaque control [footnote 8]. They're very safe if you don’t chew and swallow the tablets. If you worry your child may be swallowing the dye, supervise them when they use disclosing tablets. Other Oral Health Tips Dropping in a premeasured tablet is easy and can work in a pinch, but you should also consider the cost per use. An all-purpose household cleaner is often more cost-efficient. Always consult the manufacturer's cleaning guidelines before using a denture tablet on porous surfaces, uncoated metals, or fabrics since it contains bleaching agents.

The risk of dental caries (Chapter 4) and periodontal diseases (Chapter 5) can both be reduced by the practice of regular careful oral hygiene involving toothbrushing with fluoride toothpaste. The particular benefit in preventing dental caries, relates to the fluoride in toothpaste (Chapter 9). Good oral hygiene reduces the risk of periodontal diseases; however, periodontal health also requires effective interproximal plaque removal. Oral hygiene advice for the population in general, and specific advice for those at higher risk, are presented below for each oral condition. Dental caries Say goodbye to plastic pollution and continue saying hello to fresh, minty breath with these easy-to-use toothpaste tabs. While they don’t contain fluoride (an ingredient used in traditional toothpaste to prevent tooth decay), they are instead made with fluoride-alternative nano-hydroxyapatite. This mineral has been scientifically proven to help remineralize your teeth—aka dentist-speak for leaving your teeth strong and free of cavities and decay. Additionally, plaque disclosing toothpaste can cost more per dose than tablets because you’ll use it faster. 3. Plaque Disclosing Mouth Rinse Many toothpaste tablets also come in glass jars, which is useful as tooth tabs need to be kept in a sealed container to stop them absorbing moisture and going crumbly. Just be aware that although metal and glass can be recycled indefinitely, unlike plastic which degrades significantly each time, recycling still requires a significant energy input.Disclosing tablets aren’t the only product containing a special dye that reveals plaque. Factors to consider when choosing a plaque disclosing product are the age of the person using it and the strength of the dye. Yes, plaque disclosing tablets are safe for kids and adults. The only potential risk of using them is their ability to stain your clothing or bathroom fixtures.
