| Narrator | We at Crest toothpaste did not have | 0:01 |
| a major role in the Apollo space program. | 0:04 | |
| (rocket rumbling) | 0:07 | |
| But the Air Force and space scientists did ask our help | 0:21 | |
| in building a special toothpaste. | 0:23 | |
| No earthbound toothpaste like Crest would work, | 0:26 | |
| because in a weightless cabin, an astronaut has to keep | 0:29 | |
| his mouth closed while brushing. | 0:33 | |
| So a special non-foaming toothpaste was developed | 0:35 | |
| that could be swallowed after brushing. | 0:38 | |
| This is the toothpaste. | 0:41 | |
| The astronauts tried to brush with it at least twice | 0:43 | |
| a day in space. | 0:45 | |
| The people who make Crest are dedicated to the goal | 0:47 | |
| of getting rid of cavities on Earth. | 0:50 | |
| It makes us feel good to know we've helped come up | 0:52 | |
| with something to clean teeth so cavities can't get started | 0:54 | |
| in outer space. | 0:58 |
