Summary: An army instructional film on the importance of dental health.
Description: The film alternates a light-hearted and serious approach as it makes the point that dental decay appears to be a universal consequence of 'civilisation', that the British are no exceptions to this rule, and that signs of dental ill-health should be taken seriously as the effects, potentially, can spread throughout the body. A dentist shows the deposits of tartar on 'normal' teeth; but the problems continue below the surface.
