Toothsmith or anyone in the dental profession

I remember being given some chewy tablets when I was little to show how good/or bad my brushing was. They stained the bad brushing bits pink.

Can you still get them? Can you but them over the counter?

Thanks for answering
Fat and proud lol

    I looked for these everywhere, and couldn't find them, but did come across them at my dentists surgery. This was a year ago, so things may have changed since then x
    Gone ... or have I?

    What they all said!
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.

    Incidentally, at my place we have some really wizzy ones that stain 'new' plaque a different colour from 'old' plaque!

    I'll see if I can find some sort of link about these.
