Boots Disclosing Tablets Review

Hey everyone. Todays post is about dental care. :)

How clean do you think your teeth are after you have brushed it thoroughly?
The answer is not very. Well it could get cleaner if you can see where the plaque are.

 Inside the box, there are 10 small, dark purple tablets. You bite into one and automatically it melts all around your mouth. Your mouth would be filled with a lot of saliva everytime you bite into one. The tablet tastes sweet and not revolting which is a plus, you don't want something which smells inside your mouth. I have to say that it is very tempting to swallow it so I do recommend that people who are under the age of 15 to not use it as they can accidently swallow the whole thing accidently. 

So once you feel that saliva is all around your mouth, instantly, old and new plaque are revealed. (Spit out the excess saliva once you have swilled it around your mouth to evenly coat your teeth or otherwise the chances of you swallowing the product is pretty high.) Old plaque is blue and new plaque is pink. Plaques stays on your teeth for days if you do not brush it off or do something about it. Those are old plaque and they are revealed as blue. New plaque is when plaques develops on the day you use the tablet. The new plaque are revealed as pink. Whenever I brush my teeth I would always focus on the areas which the blue plaque were on as those areas are the hardest, for me, to clean.   

The picture below shows the tablets. They look black but they are actually dark purple. They have
an expiry date as you may be able to see on the picture if you have a good eye. The expiry date does not
bother me as there are only 10 tablets in the box; I can use it all up within 2 weeks.

Here's an attractive picture of my teeth. I was quite hesitant about posting a picture of my teeth as I thought it might scare you all away! My teeth isn't exactly the prettiest. When I was young I always wanted braces to straighten out my teeth but I wasn't allowed because my parents/and my sister said it looked alright. The real reason was because they didn't want to go through the hassle of taking me to the dentist to get my teeth checked up. I still want to have braces even now but at my age I won't qualify for free braces, I have to pay around a grand to get my teeth done. You're probably wondering why I want braces when it hurts like hell and also because my teeth looks fine as the way it is. The simple reason is that I want it straight and I would go through the pain and hassle of getting it done.

I followed the instruction on the box to brush my teeth before using the tablets, that is the likely reason as to why it looks like there are barely any plaque. Nevertheless, there are still plaque in between my teeth and around the edges which I have missed out when I brushed my teeth. What I did was use dental floss to try to rid the plaque in between my teeth and then I tried brushing it again. After the first procedure, there was still plaque in my teeth so I decided to brush my teeth until all plaque was not visible to the eye. It took around 3 brushes to get rid of it.

I absolutely love this product but what I dislike the most is that it stains your lips and also when I spit saliva out of my mouth many times, I can still see the pink from the tablet. I spat out saliva countless times until my mouth was dry. It just takes forever to clean everything out so I recommend people who use this product to use it during the night and not before you head out during the day. 

Despite that small complaint, I would highly recommend this product to you if you love your teeth. Take care of it whilst you still can. If you don't, your teeth will become weak and unsightly when you age. 

I hope you found this review useful.

Do you take care of your teeth moreso than the average person?
If so, how? Share your tips. :)

With love,

  2. These sound like an interesting concept. I am so anal about my teeth...I brush/floss/use mouthwash multiple times per day; and I swear by Crest WhiteStrips to keep them their whitest! :)

  3. That's really good! I should really start using mouthwash. I've tried it before, but the taste was horrible. I'll try another one.

    I've heard a lot about Crest White Strips, I will try it out some day. My teeth needs whitening, so bad.
