Plaque Disclosing Tablets 1 article

Plaque Disclosing Tablets are chewable products containing a dye that stains dental plaque so retained deposits become visible during oral-hygiene instruction or self-assessment. After the tablet is chewed and spread around the mouth, colored areas show where plaque remains and can guide subsequent brushing or flossing. Some formulations use more than one color to indicate different plaque characteristics, but the core function is visual detection. The tablets reveal plaque; they do not remove it and are distinct from antimicrobial rinses or tooth-cleaning products.
