Film and offense

Film on teeth is unclean. It mars beauty. At first that film is viscous. You can feel it now. With ordi- nary brushing, much of 1t clings and stays. Soon 1t discolors and forms dingy coats.
 Film also holds food substance which fernents and forms acid. 1t holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by millions in it. They, with tar tar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea.
 Few people escape these finn caused troubles unless they fight that film.
