A Commitment of Pepsodent in Indonesia for The Improvement of Oral Health



Pepsodent, a Unilever’s brand, is the oldest and most well-known toothpaste in Indonesia. It was the first toothpaste in the country that launches fluoridated paste back in 1980s and the only paste in Indonesia that actively educates and promotes proper habit of brushing through school program and free dental check up service. Pepsodent has completed its range product from basic cleaning to complete benefit paste ever since.
Habit & Attitude survey has indicated that only about 34 % of Indonesian people brush their teeth before going to bed. Even from clinical research found that in early morning bacterial counts are multiplying two times faster at night than any other time in the day. This implies that bacterial growth increases the most during the night and can increase possibility of cavity. Recent evidence also supports brushing with fluoride toothpaste before going to bed at night due to its extended protect for a longer time at night. 
That is why Pepsodent feel the needs to use Night Brushing as its health campaign to make Indonesian people brushing their teeth before going to bed at night as a part of cavity prevention habit.
There are several TV’s commercial videos campaigning night teeth brushing from Pepsodent in Indonesia. The videos consist of such conversation between a father and his son in a different story settings, such as monster, breath smells, or  knight’s story.
