"PROPER CARE of both guns and teeth requires both liquid and a paste or powder because the liquid penetrates the crevices where decay starts. SOZODONT combined treatment of Liquid and Paste or Powder is the complete dentifrice, Saltirate your brush with LIQUID SOZODONT. Massage the gums briskly inside and outside with it. Brush the teeth well. ELIQUID SOZODONT penetrate every crevice to remove the small particles of food that cause decay. Your moutr. will feel refreshed and simulated.
To make your teeth veritable ledges of pearl, brush them briskly with either SOZODONT PASTE or POWDER. No danger of destroying the enamel or injuring gums.
