Ever feel like your brushing routine isn't quite doing the trick? Plaque is sneaky — it hides where you can’t see it. For a more thoroughly clean and brighter smile, try using a coloring/disclosing solution.
Here’s a quick guide to use it:
- Apply: Put a few drops of the solution on the front of your teeth or the tip of your tongue.
- Swirl: Close your lips and pass your tongue all over your teeth without swallowing.
- Rinse & Spit: Swirl with a bit of water, spit out any excess, and check the mirror. You'll see colored marks where plaque has built up!
Pro Tip: If you’re missing spots even after brushing, use the solution post-brushing to find out where you need to improve. It might take 28 days to break old habits and form newer and better ones — so use the solutions regularly to perfect your technique.
For more details, see Dr. Stagg’s book “SMILE, It’s All Connected!” on pg. 62, available on Amazon. Also, Dr. Stagg’s Children’s Story Time book on oral hygiene: CAPTAIN IFBI really illustrates this in a creative and multicultural way! Both books are available on Amazon. Let’s make every smile count!
