An animated family is watching a televised sports game in their living room on the couch while eating copious amounts of junk food. Whenever there is a break in the action, they run to the kitchen to get more snacks. A male narrator’s voice can be heard coming from their TV. “Good nutrition is essential to health, including dental health, this family won’t eat the right food for supper tonight, and although they visit their family dentist regularly, their poor eating habits have given them a large share of dental problems. For good oral health, don’t overdo between meal snacks, eat well-balanced meals, brush and floss thoroughly each day. A health tip from the American Dental Association.” The family loses their smiles when they hear the ADA’s ad. The end shows the ADA’s logo on their TV screen.
