NOW I PROOF THAT BRUSHING TEETH RIGHT AFTER EATING WITH
COLGATE DENTALCREAM HELPS STOP TOOTH DECAY!
JANUARY, 1950
Exhaustive Research By Eminent Dental Authorities Proves How Using Colgate's Helps Stop Tooth Decay Before It Starts!
Now, the toothpaste you use to clean your breath while you clean your teeth, offers a proved way to help stop tooth decay before it starts! 2 years' continuous research at leading universities — hundreds of case histories — makes this the most conclusive proof in all dentifrice research on tooth decay! Colgate's contains all the necessary ingredients, including an exclusive patented ingredient, for effective daily dental care. No risk of irritation! And no change in flavor, foam or cleansing action!
No Other Dentifrice Offers Proof of These Results!
Modern research shows tooth decay is caused by mouth acids which are at their worst after meals or snacks. Brushing teeth with Colgate's as directed, helps remove acids before they harm enamel. And Colgate's penetrating foam reaches crevices between teeth where food particles often lodge. No dentifrice can stop all tooth decay, or help cavities already started. But brushing teeth right after eating is the safe, proved way to help stop tooth decay with Colgate Dental Cream!
