Disclosing tablets are used in dentistry to stain plaque as an adjunct to patient education. They contain dyes such as :1) Erythrosine which stains red. 2) A combination of eryrthrosine and Hercules Green dye/FDC green to differentially stain old and new plaque. 3)Vegetable dyes from Sugar beets 4)Cobalamin Compounds (B12, Cyanocobalamin). The B12 is more preferrable as it stains only plaque, no odour/bad taste and can be easily removed.

What is the drug composition of folinal tablets?

Toothpaste can interfere with the disclosing agent used to visualize plaque during a plaque control session, making it difficult to accurately identify areas of plaque buildup. It's recommended to use disclosing agent alone to contrast against the teeth and highlight areas that need improvement in oral hygiene.
It's called disclosing solution.
The disclosing agent two-tone solution Alpha Plaque is composed of a mixture of two dyes – erythrosine and indigo carmine. Erythrosine stains the biofilm pink to red and indigo carmine stains mineralized areas blue, allowing for visual differentiation between plaque and calculus on teeth. The two colors help to better visualize and identify different types of deposits on the teeth during dental prophylaxis.
Yes, its just a vegetable dye.
A child should start to learn about dental care around the age that the child can learn to brush their teeth, which is in their third or fourth year. Use disclosing tablets, which color unbrushed plaque, to show them areas they might be missing.

It is generally accepted that increasing age is the main time in which periodontium breakdown occurs. Whether this is due to the increased susceptibility of periodontal conditions, the change in plaque composition, or the reaction to plaque composition change is unknown. Another factor are endopeptidases called collagenase, which breaks down collagen in gingival crevicular fluid.
