I’m a child of the 90s so I have a deep appreciation for anything that turns color from those tablets that turned our teeth pink to identify plaque to color-changing, heat sensitive tee shirts which I wish I still owned. The nostalgia alone made me excited to try the new, first-of-its kind toothpaste introduced by Plaque HD, which contains plant-based, all natural teal disclosing agents to color and identify clear plaque build-up on teeth.

Sexy, right? Maybe not, but it makes brushing a little fun. And by being able to see where the blue is hitting the most, I can target any areas of plaque that I may have otherwise missed during my usual brushing. Also as you brush those areas of teal disappear and by doing so helps to ensure you get in those 2 minutes of brushing recommended by the American Dental Association.
