After many years of seeing and listening to parents' frustration with their children's lack of motivation to brush, a board-certified dentist designed the plQue pen. This innovative aid is a simple solution to parents' big challenge in getting children to brush their teeth. 

 

Once the plQue pen fluid is applied to teeth, it instantly turns the old plaque purple and the new plaque pink. This results in a dramatic reveal of plaque that actually motivates children and adults to improve their brushing technique and remove the plaque from their teeth.

 

Tooth plaque is typically invisible and easily missed during brushing. It is also one of the main reasons for tooth decay, gingivitis, and gum and bone infection. If the soft plaque on teeth is not properly removed, it can harden over time and become calculus, also known as tarter. Once it turns to tarter, regular teeth brushing isn't enough for complete removal. So, it then needs to be removed by a dentist. Accumulation of the tarter can also lead to gingivitis, bleeding of the gum, gum infection, and bone infection.
