Kid | Hey, do wear braces? | 0:03 |
- | Sure I have braces, can't you see? | 0:04 |
- | Almost everybody has them. | 0:07 |
(kids laugh) | 0:08 | |
- | It's kind of hard | |
to brush around them and get in between. | 0:09 | |
Narrator | As if kids who wear braces | 0:12 |
didn't have enough to worry about, | 0:14 | |
they must take special care against cavities | 0:15 | |
because it's hard to brush behind braces. | 0:18 | |
- | You think I look funny, you should see my brother. | 0:21 |
(kid laughs) | 0:24 | |
Narrator | Well they have a friend in Crest Toothpaste. | 0:25 |
- | They used to call me Rabbit Mouth | 0:28 |
but now they call me 10 grin. | 0:30 | |
Narrator | We did a three-way fluoride test | 0:32 |
on kids with braces. | 0:33 | |
Stannous fluoride was applied to the teeth | 0:35 | |
and a cleaning pumice was painted on | 0:37 | |
and was used in normal brushing with Crest. | 0:39 | |
Results, 51% fewer cavities | 0:41 | |
than a group which had no fluoride treatments | 0:45 | |
and brushed with the same toothpaste | 0:48 | |
but without Crest's fluoride formula. | 0:49 | |
How much Crest helped we can't estimate, | 0:52 | |
but we're proud to have had a part | 0:54 | |
because fighting cavities is the whole idea behind Crest. | 0:56 |
