If your dental plato is as flesh-pink and the teeth as clean and natural-looking as when your dentist first fitted than then you DON'T need Steradent. If they are dis coloured, stained and unnatural-looking, you DO. For the sake of health, dentures should be free from germ-breeding stains. For the sake of your appearance they shoukl be clean and natural-looking.

10,000 Dentists Recommand 'Sterndant' The sole purpose of "Steradent” is to clean and purify dentures-and it does the job as nothing else has ever done before. Over 10,000 dentists recommend it as the finest preparation of its kind ever produced.

Simply put your plates in a glass of warm water with a little Stetadent powder and stir well. You don't need to brush them. Stains vanish. Even the blackest tobacco stains disappear after a few treatments. Every trace of film is gone. Your dentures are once more flesh-pink with clean, natural- looking teeth. They are sweet-smelling and pleasant-tasting: they feel sliky-smooth, cool and corufortable." Steradent' will do all and more than you promits" writes a grateful user. And a leading Dentist says, *** Steradent' is the best dentire cleaner and wain remover I have ever tried.”
