Film-how it destroys

You can feel film with your tongue- slippery coating. It clings to teeth, gets into crevices and stays. It absorbs stains from food and smoking and turns white teeth "off color."

Film hardens into tartar. Gerns by the millions breed in it, and they, plus tarlar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea.

To remove film, dentists prescribe the special film-removing dentifrice called Pepsodent. It acts to curdle film so that brushing easily removes it in gentle safety to enamel.

Pepsodent contains no pumice, harmful grit or crude abrasive. It is so safe that dentists recommend it for cleaning the soft teeth of children.. -
