Someone has to know what I'm talking about...

When I was a kid, the dentist gave me these little purple pills. I would put them in my mouth and they would dissolve. They would turn all the plaque in my mouth purple, so my teeth would be all purple. So basically, I knew I hadn't brushed my teeth good enough until all the purple was brushed away.

I've been searching like crazy for them. All the pharmacies look at me like I have a second head. My mom swears I never took such a thing.

Does anyone know what they're called or where I can get them? My son does such a lousy job brushing his teeth, I know they'd help!

Thanks!

I had those!! Those were awesome! I'll look around!

I hated those things!!! it seemed like no matter how long or hard you brushed there was still color left!!

I found them on the 'net...Disclosing tablets

Thank you!

I remember those......are we giving our age away?

Well... everyone else who has had those is... err... older than me... lmao. Is something wrong there? Lol..

I remember them too! I remember chewing them up on a Sunday right before going to church without asking...and had purple teeth and mom caught it just before we headed out the door!! lol

LOL - I also remember then (no wonder because I am old as dirt) and wonder whay they are not still used? I think they make a great incentive to BRUSH!!

Does your dentist still use them - ILoveMyAbbyGirl? If so - GREAT!

Good idea Tonya - hope you can find them at one of the pharmacies or maybe even call your dentist??

I'm not sure, I just remember getting a pack in like 2nd or 3rd grade, when the dentist came in to talk about our teeth... they were so cool!

Hey that happened to me tooo. A dentist came in our classroom and gave them to us in the 3rd grade. I never had them other than that though lol.

When I go to the dentist for my six month checkup and cleaning, this is the hygenist's first step, gives me some of this as liquid in water. Hmmm, that's later this week!:D

I remember those! ;)

I remember them too. :eek: I wonder why they aren't as popular as they were when us 'older folk' were young?:confused: They really work at teaching where to brush that's for sure. ;)

My sons gets those every time he visits the orthodontist or dentist. I have a whole drawer in the bathroom full of them, I swear.

Our dentist recommended them, but he didn't have any. He told us any pharmacy sold them, but I've checked everywhere. I was able to order them online though!
