- The first time our John got a haircut like his father, I remember thinking how much alike they were: the same eyes, the same nose, the same mouth. He even had his father's teeth. That worried me at the time, Mr. Cameron, John's teeth. 

- Meet Mrs. Ranney and her son, John, today. Why were you worried about John's teeth? 

- Poor teeth seem to run in my husband's family. They've all had trouble with cavities. 

- And you were concerned that John would have trouble? 

- Yes, I was. 

- How do you feel about it now? 

- Well, I learned quite a bit from a toothpaste test John was in. 

- Tell us what happened, John? 

- It was at school. Dental scientists examined our teeth. Then they divided us into two groups. They put the same number of people with good and bad teeth on both sides. Both groups were told to brush as usual, including after lunch at school, but each group used a different toothpaste. 

- What kind did you use? 

- We didn't know at the time 'cause the toothpaste came in unlabeled tubes like this, but we found out later one group used a control toothpaste and the other used Crest. 

- What was the result? 

- After two years, there were 21% fewer cavities with Crest. 

- When I heard those results, I decided everyone in the family would use Crest. 

- Yes, even people who think they were born with teeth that can get cavities easily can do something about it by following a good dental health program, which includes Crest. You see, Crest with Fluoristan combines with tooth enamel like this to strengthen it against decay. And in 12 years of continuous testing with children, teenagers, and young adults, only Crest has shown it reduces cavities from 21-49%. With results like that, I don't see why anyone should take a chance on cavities. Get your family started early on a good dental health program. 

- See your dentist regularly. 

- Watch between-meal treats. 

- And be sure you brush often with Crest.
