New Liquid Denffries Connof inivre Teeth
-Confoins Absolutely No Abrosives

Today literally millions Of people are unknowingly
causing serious damage to their teeth which Ma
ture can never repair.
This injury is oaused-not by the toothbrush
itself-but by regular brushing with the harmful
abrasives or securing materials contaiped in the
most widely-sold dentiirioes.
Gradually, as the months go by, these abra7
sives cut cavities into the soft part OF teeth
along the gum line exposed by shrinking gums,
where there is no hard enamel to protect them.
In fact, among people who brush their teeth
regularly, very large percentage OF all cavities
along the gum line that require filling are prob
ably the result of this injury. This was shown by
clinical study published in leading dental
journal.
