Dentist says my child has "plaque-key" teeth.
My child is not brushing well enough. First of all she has a small jaw and lots of teeth. Her first tooth did not fall out until she was 7. So we have lots of crowded teeth to clean. We took her to the Dentist and after 6 teeth being removed he told us that she has &#34;plaque-key&#34; teeth (too much plaque still on her teeth). I bought these tablets because I remember when I was a kid and I had to chew them at the dentist to show me where I was not brushing well. It worked well for me when I was a kid because I remember looking at my purple teeth and thinking &#34;yuk&#34;. It did motivate me to brush better.<br />What I like best about these little tablets is that I can watch her chewing the tablet and after I get to see all the spots she is not brushing well. I'm a teacher and I know that research show that children think in pictures so I believe this is a brilliant way to show kids about where bacteria and plaques hide. My child had not yet grasped the concept of plaque before we started doing the tablets but now she can &#34;see&#34; the plaque because its purple. These are small purple tablets so once the child chews the tablet (do not swallow), then they rinse their mouth out and the plaque turns purple. Now the good part: they have to go back and brush all the purple stuff off.
