Disclosing tablets are chewable tablets that make dental plaque visible. The tablets, sold over the counter in many countries, contain a dye (typically a vegetable dye, such as Phloxine B) that stains plaque a bright color (typically red or blue). After brushing, one chews a tablet and rinses. Colored stains on the teeth indicate areas where plaque remains after brushing, providing feedback to improve brushing technique. For self-examination, a dental mirror may be needed. More sophisticated varieties contain several dyes, which selectively stain plaque of different ages. With the most common variety, immature plaque stains red, mature purple, and pathological acidic plaque blue. This is owing to the blue dye washing off immature plaque, and acid degrading the red dye. Red dye discovers ne

  • Disclosing tablets are chewable tablets that make dental plaque visible. The tablets, sold over the counter in many countries, contain a dye (typically a vegetable dye, such as Phloxine B) that stains plaque a bright color (typically red or blue). After brushing, one chews a tablet and rinses. Colored stains on the teeth indicate areas where plaque remains after brushing, providing feedback to improve brushing technique. For self-examination, a dental mirror may be needed. More sophisticated varieties contain several dyes, which selectively stain plaque of different ages. With the most common variety, immature plaque stains red, mature purple, and pathological acidic plaque blue. This is owing to the blue dye washing off immature plaque, and acid degrading the red dye. Red dye discovers new Plaque, Whilst Blue discovers old plaque and a purplie/pinky colourings discovers built up old and new plaque stuck together causing infections, Dentist's commonly use this by undergoing orthodontic treatments to prevent plaque build up in areas which are harder to brush. An example of a dye with a patented use as a "Dental Plaque Disclosing Agent" is Erythrosine. (en)

Naast de tabletvorm bestaat er ook een vloeistofvorm. Ook bestaan er varianten die twee verkleuringen aangeven, een blauwe kleur voor oudere tandplaque en een rode kleur voor jonge tandplaque. (nl)
