Trace Disclosing Liquid helps you brush better by showing where plaque hides on your teeth. It stains the plaque red temporarily.
Want to know how well you brush your teeth, and whether you have missed areas where plaque can build up? This liquid can tell you. Whether you have braces or not, you can use this liquid disclosing solution to show how much plaque is left on your teeth after you brush. Trace disclosing solution contains a harmless red dye that is attracted to the bacteria and plaque on your teeth and other surfaces in your mouth. The photo at the left shows how plaque is stained red on the teeth after using Trace liquid.
Trace Liquid Solution is great for people with braces, or to help teach kids how to brush properly (use only with adult supervision). Don't worry, the staining is only temporary. It totally disappears after brushing and rinsing a few times. For instructions, click on the "Instructions & FAQ" tab.
Use Trace Disclosing Solution regularly until you find no more stained areas of dental plaque. Recheck your brushing habits with the disclosing solution again after a few weeks to ensure that you are brushing properly.

Note: This product can stain fabrics and some surfaces, so please be very careful when using it. Children should have adult supervision when using this product. Any stains inside your teeth, gums, or lips usually fade and disappear after you brush a few times. May stain elastic ligatures ("o-rings") on braces. If you are concerned about staining your elastic ligatures, use this product only before you have your ligatures changed by your orthodontist or dentist. It is more likely to stain clear or light colored ligatures than dark ones.
I only have one caveat about disclosing products: they may stain the elastic ligatures "o-rings" of your braces. So be careful using them and follow the instructions!
-
First, brush and floss as you normally do.
-
Place one or two drops of the dental disclosing solution in your mouth and allow it to mix with your saliva.
-
Swish the mixture in your mouth for about 30 seconds. Run some water in your sink, then spit out the solution into the running water. (Running the water helps ensure that you don't stain your sink).
-
Gently rinse your mouth with a small amount of water and spit again.
-
Then, examine your teeth for plaque colored by the dye. Because the dye stains all bacteria, your tongue and gums also may get stained. Anything that is stained contains bacteria, and is considered not properly cleaned. So, the next time you brush your teeth, pay special attention to these areas.
