I love using disclosing tablets in my practice to teach kids about plaque — it’s a fun, visual way for them to see where they miss brushing, and it opens up conversations about better techniques. Has anyone else had success with this tool in engaging young patients?
I totally get the excitement around disclosing tablets! They really do help kids visualize their brush habits. I’ve noticed, though, some kids get frustrated when they see too much blue at first. Maybe pairing it with a fun brushing song can make the learning more positive?
I agree, disclosing tablets are fantastic for visuals! I noticed having kids brush first helps them not get too frustrated when they see the color buildup. What age group do you find they work best for? @smoss22.
Using disclosing tablets has been a game changer for my young patients, but I find that doing a little demonstration first really helps set the stage. When they see how it works and what to expect, they seem less taken aback by the results. Have you tried incorporating a quick brushing session before using them?

I’ve found that using disclosing tablets is like putting on a pair of special glasses for kids — suddenly they can see the plaque that’s usually invisible. I like to show them how to brush effectively afterward, making it a fun little competition. What age do you find it most effective?
I’ve had some luck with TPU for flexible dentures too, but I found that adjusting retraction settings really helped reduce stringing and improve the overall quality. > ‘settings is crucial.’ It’s definitely worth experimenting with those to fine-tune your results. Have you noticed any specific settings making a big difference?
I found switching to an electric toothbrush really helped my gum health — it’s amazing how much better it cleans. Have you thought about adding any new tools to your routine? It’s all about finding what works for you.
