Announcer | And now back to Mrs. Ronald Reagan, | 0:00 |
who also has a movie to show you. | 0:02 | |
- | Earlier, I mentioned that I do everything possible | 0:04 |
to protect my youngsters from tooth decay. | 0:07 | |
I think most of us mothers | 0:10 | |
feel that way about our children. | 0:11 | |
But sometimes we get so busy taking care of our families, | 0:13 | |
that we forget about ourselves. | 0:16 | |
So I'd like you mothers | 0:18 | |
to pay special attention to this film. | 0:20 | |

(reel whirring) | 0:24 | |
- | Boy, here's the picture I wanna see. | 0:26 |
Mom | It was to be the family's night out. | 0:29 |
After supper, we were all going downtown to the movies. | 0:31 | |
And then it hit me, | 0:35 | |
a toothache that had been building up all day. | 0:37 | |
Me, who insisted the kids have checkups | 0:40 | |
every six months. | 0:43 | |
Was it really over a year since I'd seen the dentist? | 0:44 | |
Now I had to see him. | 0:49 | |
It was long after hours before the dentist finished. | 0:52 | |
He didn't lecture. | 0:55 | |
My cavity did that for him. | 0:57 | |
He told me checkups aren't just kid stuff. | 1:00 | |
As my husband said, you worry about our youngsters' teeth | 1:03 | |
and forget about your own. | 1:06 | |
Then and there, I made up my mind | 1:09 | |
that I'd be just as regular about checkups | 1:10 | |
as I'd made my own children be. | 1:13 | |
- | As that mother learned, | 1:20 |
regular checkups are an important part | 1:21 | |
of everybody's dental program, | 1:23 | |
as well as taking it easy on between-meal treats | 1:25 | |
and brushing your teeth after meals. | 1:28 | |
I hope you and your family follow these rules | 1:30 | |
for good dental health, | 1:32 | |
and I hope this is a regular part of your program, Crest, | 1:34 | |
the toothpaste for families who want fewer cavities. | 1:38 |
