Zoinks!	HEY! Listerine makes this stuff called "AGENT CoolBlue." It's a plaque detecting rinse. Works the same as those little red tablets only its blue and in liquid form. Its bubble gum flavored.

Linnea	yes they are still around. a kid that i know was given some at school so they could go home and see how well they were brushing. maybe ask your dentist about them Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

evansmommy	Yes they do still make them. They are called disclosing tablets. They come in different colors, red and blue are the colors our office had. They are 100% safe and quite effective. The color sticks to plaque so you can see areas that you tend to miss when you brush. I would call your DDS ....if they carry them they may just give you some. Usually the Hygienist is the one with them in stock as she is the one who deals the most with oral hygiene and instruction. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
