What is the blue ring dentist put it in between of my teeths?
The blue ring that the dentist uses between your teeth is known as a retraction cord.
It is made of an absorbent material like cotton and covered in blue dye, hence its name. Dentists place retraction cords around teeth before taking impressions or making molds for procedures like crowns, bridges, inlays/onlays, or fillings.
