July READER'S DIGEST reports the same research which proves that brushing teeth u right after eating with COLGATE DENTAL CREAM STOPS TOOTH DECAY BEST Better Than Any Other Way of Preventing Tooth Decay According to Published Reports! Reader's Digest for July reports on one of the most extensive experiments in dental history! And remember these additional facts: The toothpaste used exclusively in this research was Colgate Dental Cream. Two years' research showed brushing teeth right after eating with Colgate Dental Cream stopped tooth decay best! Better than any other home method of oral hygiene! The Colgate way stopped more decay for more people than ever reported in all dentifrice history! No Other Toothpaste or Powder Ammoniated or Not Offers Proof of Such Results! Even more important, there were no new cavities whatever for more than 1 out of 3 who used Colgate Dental Cream correctly! Think of it! Not even one new cavity in two full years! No other dentifrice has proof of such results! No dentifrice can stop all tooth decay, or help cavities already started. But the Colgate way is the most effective way yet known to help your dentist prevent decay. *Y0U SHOULD KNOW! Colgate Dental Cream, while not mentioned by name, was used exclusively in the research reported in Reoder's Digest.
