Protect your teeth at THE DANGER LINE YOUR dentist will tell you that the most seri- ous tooth decay and pyorrhea usually begin at The Danger Line— | the V-shaped crevice where teeth meet gums. Food particles accumu- late there and ferment, forming acids which eat into your teeth. As shown in the above cross-section of a tooth, decay at The Danger Line ex- tends under the gums. The gums become diseased and recede from the teeth. Pyorrhea, abscesses, loss of teeth and serious physical troubles result. There is only one way to prevent such conditions—use a dentifrice which cleans your teeth thoroughly, and which also neutralizes acids. Squibb’s Dental Cream is made with Squibb’s Milk of Magnesia, a product prescribed for generations as the best means for neutralizing acidity. It cleans beautifully. It also leaves protective de- posits of magnesia at The Danger Line, where they remain for hours, neutralizing acids and preventing decay. Begin to use this better, more pleasant method of preserving the health and beauty of your teeth to-day. SQUIBB'S DENTAL CREAM Made with Squibbs Milk of Magnesia Squibb's Milk of Magnesia, useful in hyper- acidity of the stomach and as a modifier of milk for infants, may be obtained from your pharmacist.
