The tiny teeth of children— those precious first teeth which have such an influence on the future health and beauty of the mouth — need the scientific cleansing which they will get with this gentle dentifrice. The teeth of boys and girls also need Forhan's pro- tection, to supplement the dentist's watchful care.

It cleans the teeth, of course, but in addition it helps to stimulate the gums. Used as recommended, with massage at the time of brushing, it rouses slug- gish circulation, brings to gum tissues a pleasant tingling, and helps to keep them in the coral glow of health.
