the first toothpaste that's shown it reduces cavities. | 0:18 | |
Shown it in tests, reported in dental journals, | 0:21 | |

Anne Hofstadter, how did it work? | 0:25 | |
- | Well, we were divided into two groups. | 0:27 |
Our side used Crest toothpaste, | 0:30 | |
and the other side used a control toothpaste. | 0:31 | |
Announcer | And the rules? | 0:33 |
- | We brushed as always. | 0:34 |
Announcer | But you're group one. | 0:36 |
- | Yes sir, after one year, | 0:37 |
we had 36% fewer cavities with Crest. | 0:40 | |
Announcer | Know why, Anne? | 0:43 |
- | No. | 0:45 |
Announcer | Crest contains fluoristan, | 0:46 |

that's reduced cavities 21 to 49% | 0:50 | |
in independent scientific tests. | 0:53 | |
