Disclosing the Truth about Plaque<\/h1>\n

Anyone who has braces already pays close attention to oral health, and knows how important it is to get rid of plaque \u2013 all the plaque, on all your teeth. But not everyone knows about the best, most visual, and often most surprising way to do a complete job: disclosing fluids.<\/p>\n

Available in liquid or pill form, these safe vegetable dyes will show you exactly where your cleaning regimen is working \u2014 and where it isn\u2019t. Any areas around or under you\u2019re braces that you\u2019ve missed will be brightly colored by the temporary dye. That\u2019s because the specially formulated dye stains all soft debris and bacterial plaque on teeth, making it painfully visible. After you\u2019ve used the solution, use a hand-mirror and check out what still remains. Pay special attention to the pink-stained plaque scalloping the gum line and then get to work. It\u2019s a great way to see what good you\u2019re doing and to help you finish the job!<\/p>\n
