also called plaque) on teeth. The color on the teeth reveals areas
overlooked when brushing and flossing.

no plaque!
Directions:
Rinse mouth with water or mouthwash.
Chew 1 tablet or use 5 drops of solution. Swish around for 30 seconds. Do not swallow.

color your sink. It is probably best to spit out the color into a
disposable cup, and throw the cup away.
Rinse with water. The color remaining on teeth
indicates areas overlooked in brushing and may contain harmful dental
plaque.
Thoroughly remove the color by brushing and flossing. See more
about Dry Brushing.
It can be used periodically to monitor plaque removal,
perhaps once a week.
The color will disappear from the tongue, gums, and
mouth after use.
