Just What are Clean"Teeth?

THE most careful brushing cannot give

you absolutely clean teeth. Tiny food particles hide in what is called the Danger Zone of the mouth-the spaces between teeth, imperfections in the enamel and where teeth meet gums. The toothbrush cannot possibly remove all such particles and they remain to ferment, attract bacteria and form Germ Acids, which in turn bring decay. Keep your teeth clean in the true sense of the word with Squibb Dental Cream. It is antacid and neutralizes the harmful Germ Acids. It fights decay scientifically.

Squibb Dental Cream brings out the spark- ling, natural whiteness of your teeth without damage to enamel or gums. It is absolutely safe. Use it with confidence.for Squibb is a Name you can Trust.
