What are the little chewable tablet the dentist would give you to chew after your brushed your teeth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Disclosing Tabs: They are basically food coloring that stains the bacteria still left on your teeth... Used to show patients how poor a job they were doing of brushing their teeth. Really just a teaching aid.
