    How do dental disclosing tablets work?
    Dental disclosing tablets contain a harmless pink or purple dye that reacts with plaque on your teeth. Chewing a tablet activates the dye, temporarily revealing plaque that remains in your mouth after you brush and floss. Disclosing tablets help develop good brushing habits by revealing areas where plaque has accumulated on the teeth.

    What are the symptoms of a cavity in between teeth and when should I see a dentist?

    Dr. KODALI RAGA SRI SAI MALIKA

    Dentist · 2.6 years of exp

    Cavities can be more common in between the teeth. Symptoms could be sensitivity, pain, food impaction, redness of gums and gum diseases. You need to contact the dentist when you are having food impaction and sensitivity. If you contact the dentist as earliest, treatment options could be simple, like filling of the tooth could be sufficient, if there is delay or more damage, then treatment options could be either root canal treatment or removal of the tooth.
