Plaque Disclosing Tablets for Teeth, 96 Count, Dental Disclosing Tablets for Kids or Adults, Shows Plaque, Helps Teach Kids Teeth-Brushing Habits for Clean Teeth, by Fresh Knight, Pack of (2)

Really helped the grandsons understand that they were not brushing properly

My kids love this. They say it has a good berry flavor taste. They were worried it would taste like medicine or some of those nasty vitamins. Best part is I get the benefits of them really understanding how to clean their teeth better.

These were so fun to use with my kids, ages 7 and 9! We all used them together to see where we need to focus more when brushing, and all of our teeth were sparkly clean after! The kids loved the novelty of it and were asking to use them again the next day… these are kids who complained often about brushing teeth and would skimp out of it, to now eagerly brushing their teeth twice in a row!My only critique is on the directions. It says to brush and floss like normal, chew and swish the tabs, spit, see purple plaque, rinse, then ta da sparkly teeth! The missing but obvious step in there is a very quick rinse and then brushing the teeth again, concentrating on the areas with purple plaque. I know it seems obvious, but my kids were a little confused trying to figure out when they were supposed to brush again.

First and foremost my apologies for those whom might get gross out with my teeth. It is for educational purposes. This great product was recommended to me by my dental hygienist. Even though my teeth are in great condition, she keep finding out on my 6 month cleaning the same three areas of concern. I am so greatful to her. I can now see clearly I wasn't spending enough time on those three areas in between my teeth which I right away have corrected. Now I see no purple markings which mean only one thing. That I am doing a GREAT JOB. Brushing my teeth in the morning and before going to bed along with flossing. I am looking forward to my next appointment and hear what my hygienist have to say. 😁For anyone reading my post. This is a FANTASTIC product, it does NOT stain your teeth, very tasty, and at a great price.

Everything about this product is excessive. First, do you really need 96 tablets? Probably not. I think about 12, at most, will get the job done. Second, scrubbing your sink may not get the pink out after brushing--do it quickly. I am pretty sure it will eventually wear off of the sink, but make sure your kid knows how to spit IN the sink. You might want to coat the bathroom in plastic trash bags if you have one of those kids who will open their mouths and let slobber drip out in a fit of dramatics at the slightest provocation from something slightly distasteful. Third, yeah, your kid's tongue might be purple a few days. However, chances are good you are here because your child is not getting every side and angle of their teeth properly when brushing. I have just started using these on my fifth child after successfully using the similar GUM ones on the others. If nothing else, these let you see where you need to spot check because your kid missed and saves you from having to re-brush their entire mouths just to make sure. I was willing to pay for tablets I will never use in order to get those I will use, so I can prevent my child from getting tooth decay, but I wasn't quite willing to purchase 248 of the GUM ones at a slightly higher price to get the product I used for my other children. I also don't mind a slightly discolored sink if I can help my child become more independent with brushing. I feel GUM's product was better, but getting it is much more difficult, now. This seems to be the only product available of its kind safely available to the general public. The GUM brand comes in a pack of 248 from a dental supply company directly, and although someone is selling them on Amazon in smaller quantities that come packaged in plastic baggies-- I don't feel safe giving those to my child even if they are individually wrapped.

I'm not sure if I've ever written a 1 star review before! I can't find the brand (GUM) I am used to and have always had wonderful success with, so I read the reviews and picked this one. No one who opened up MY package and put the tablet in their mouth could give this any other than a 0 stars! I hadn't brushed for over 8 hours, and I just had a sandwich and chips. The doorbell rang, it was the Amazon delivery person, and so I opened and tried these out, expecting the plaque to show up nicely. Well, it looked like I had drank water instead of the tablet! If that tablet was working, then I must have just come home from a teeth cleaning! (Not for many moons!) Thankfully, I still had a few Gum Red-Cote disclosing tablets left, so I ran and put one in my mouth, waited 20 seconds, spit it out, and looked at my teeth. Plaque everywhere. Yup, this product is awful. Too bad, since my usual kind is very hard to find right now. This product did not change any part of any of my teeth, left them white as snow. Not even a light pink anywhere.

I am so glad my daughters orthodontic recommended these for my children. They really do work great!! If you have young children and they have trouble getting all the plaque off their teeth this is the best thing ever. My daughter went from getting cavity's all most every time she went to the dentist to none at all and it's all because of this product. I highly recommend this...

This was recommended by our dentist. I honestly thought it was just another dumb thing to add to our list but it really has helped my 12 yo see where she is not brushing or flossing well. It has proven to be a valuable tool and works great!
