About this deal

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.

A 2013 national survey [footnote 2] found that only a quarter of children benefited from having their teeth brushed before they were 6 months of age, whereas about 50% had commenced between 6 months and one year of age. Overall about 90% of children (aged 5 to 8 years) are reported as having started toothbrushing by 2 years of age [footnote 2]. Overall, 77% of 12-year-olds and 81% of 15-year-olds reported that they brushed their teeth twice daily or more. Mouthwash was the most common aid other than a toothbrush (manual or powered) and toothpaste. As expected, the use of mouthwashes, dental floss (the only interdental cleaning method investigated) and sugar-free gum was generally higher in older children. Approximately 40% of the school children surveyed used a powered toothbrush. Oral hygiene principles for oral health Plaque disclosing toothpaste contains a dye that highlights areas you missed during brushing. It can be harder to use because you can’t rinse your mouth immediately after brushing. Plaque disclosing tablets are a great way to boost your oral hygiene routine, but they don’t clean teeth. The dye shows plaque you missed while brushing, which can help lead to cleaner teeth.

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][

Additionally, plaque disclosing toothpaste can cost more per dose than tablets because you’ll use it faster. 3. Plaque Disclosing Mouth Rinse Another benefit is that they’re lightweight and ideal for travel. The TSA’s liquid and gel limits don’t apply to them, and they won’t leave a pasty mess inside your luggage if they leak. 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. 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. Delivering Better Oral Health has been developed with the support of the 4 UK Chief Dental Officers.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 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.

clean all tooth surfaces, and the gum line, thoroughly with a toothbrush and fluoride-containing toothpaste at least twice a day (last thing at night or before bed and one other time), spitting out the excess toothpaste Toothbrushing is important throughout life. The overall goal is to achieve and maintain good oral hygiene as follows: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. 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.

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. Cleaning between teeth, ideally with interdental brushes, is recommended prior to toothbrushing as a habit-forming approach, which is considered to be good practice [footnote 9] through adult life. 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.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. 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. Plaque disclosing tablets have many benefits, but they also come with some disadvantages. Pros of Plaque Disclosing Tablets
