"Tous les sourires ne commencent pas par un sourire" ("Not Every Smile Starts as a Smile") acknowledges a common experience: kids don't like brushing their teeth. The work depicts the daily battles of tears, cries and tantrums, with Colgate there to support parents. Shot by photographer and director Peter Funch, the campaign accurately reflects the familiar chaos of so many families at brushing time.
