Yes your teeth can look clean... and still have plaque hiding on them.
Here's why that matters:
• White teeth don't always mean clean teeth.
• Plaque is often invisible, especially between the teeth and along the gumline.
• A plaque-disclosing agent temporarily stains plaque, making it easy to spot the areas you've missed.
• In this case, there was no visible calculus, yet plaque was still present between the teeth.
• That's why brushing alone isn't always enough, flossing or interdental brushes are just as important.
• Routine dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar before they lead to cavities, bad breath, or gum disease.
Want to check your brushing at home?
• Brush and floss your teeth as you normally would.
• Then use a plaque-disclosing tablet according to the instructions.
• Rinse lightly, the remaining coloured areas show where plaque is still present.
• Brush and floss those areas again until the stain disappears.
• Use it once every few weeks to improve your brushing technique.
Comment "TABLET" and I'll send you the link to the plaque-disclosing tablets. Don't worry, the colour brushes right off!
