Film Transcript / Subtitles

Did you ever stop to think that a tooth is like a growing carrot? Only the top part of the carrot is visible when it's growing, and like your tooth, a carrot is firmly anchored in place. What happens if the carrot loses its support? It dies, and if your tooth loses support from the gums, it may be lost too. Children suffer from gum disease just as adults do. In fact, untreated childhood gum diseases lead to severe problems in adult life. Keep your gums healthy with proper home dental care, especially brushing and regular checkups. Those healthy gums will make sure you can chew all the carrots you like with your own teeth. A public service of this television station and the American Dental Association.
