- If you're serious about reducing your family's cavities, this smile can help you. It belongs to Doug Gulick, one of thousands who tested toothpaste and showed Crest reduces cavities. Doug? - Our toothpaste test lasted two years. - And half the group used Crest and the other half used regular toothpaste. - Yes, sir. - Did you brush in any special way? - No, sir. - What were the results? - 25% fewer cavities. - For your group? - Yes. - And you used Crest. - Mm-hmm. - Such results show why Crest is recognized effective against cavities by the American Dental Association. As their council reports, "Crest has been shown to be an effective decay-preventive dentifrice that can be of significant value when used in a conscientiously applied program of oral hygiene and regular professional care." Protect your family with good dental habits, dental checkups twice a year, and Crest, the only toothpaste recognized effective against cavities by the American Dental Association.
