INTRODUCTION : What do different types of liquids do to our teeth? We decided to do an experiment to find out which liquid would stain your teeth the most. We started by thinking about what liquids to use. We both came up with Gatorade, red wine, and cranberry juice to use for our experiment. HYPOTHESIS AND PURPOSE : Our questions were, Which out of the three liquid would stain the teeth the most and what causes our teeth to change colors? The purpose of our experiment was that we wondered what these drinks would do if we drank it for a certain period of time. We chose gatorade, red wine, and cranberry juice because these drinks are mostly drank by kids, teens,and adults. We wanted to see how these drinks might affect our teeth so we know what not to drink if we …show more content…
Although we were shocked in what the gatorade did to the tooth, the red wine had a huge impact on the teeth for though it is the darkest of the three teeth. We waited another 2 days to make it a full week and as we expected, the red wine was the darkest of the three teeth. What surprised us the most was that after we took out the teeth we noticed that the tooth we put in the gatorade, was cracked in half and was covered in a coat of sugar. The tooth we put in the cranberry was also covered in a coat of sugar. Therefore we concluded that the the cranberry and gatorade is mostly composed of sugar. CONCLUSION : In conclusion, we learned that many drinks can stain your teeth. From our hypothesis, Destiny was correct. The red wine was the darkest and the cool blue Gatorade was actually the lightest out of the three teeth. We were both surprise that the second darkest tooth was the one in the cranberry since cranberry was the lightest of the three
After completing my experiment, I found that my initial hypothesis was wrong. According to the results of my experiments grape juice stains teeth the most; however, coffee ranked second highest in staining on the teeth. Grape juice had an overwhelming effect on the egg after just one day of exposure at 20 minutes. Grape juice was the most corrosive drink to teeth and the fastest to create dark stain on the teeth; however, all of the drinks were extremely harsh on the teeth. According to the results of my experiments conducted the grape juice does have the highest level of staining out of all the drinks tested.
What effect does Gatorade have on your teeth? If the Gatorade is red, it will have a Gatorade effect then the yellow Gatorade would have. First, set five plastic cups out in a set area that will not change. Next, fill each cup up with 118.294 Ml of a color of Gatorade or water. There will be one color of each Gatorade and one cup of water during each trial. Set one egg in each cup. Then leave the eggs in the Gatorade or water over night (about 12 hours). The next morning remove each other the eggs and place them one a plate. Measure the color of each of the eggs using the flawless teeth whitening scale, or the color scale correlated with the color of Gatorade. The red Gatorade stain the most, then blue, then orange, then yellow, the water
Many different factors can contribute to the discoloration of teeth including, but not limited to tea, coffee, soft drinks, red wine, and certain foods.
The results show that HCl had the highest decay rate. Distilled water increase in mass and orange juice showed the least amount of decay. Comparing the two sodas together the darker soda, coke, was the worse compared to the lighter soda, citrus twist. The monster energy drink was found to be the most harmful for your teeth, being a drink unlike HCl which is not a something at you can drink. HCl is not something you can drink it was used as an extreme for the tooth to show the decay rate. Distilled water is used as controlled group. The conditions unlike reality were exposed to this solution for weeks without being brushed. When looking at the data collected for the first week the tooth in the distilled water increased in mass due to the tooth
All of these things can damage enamel and cause various difficulties. Hot and cold drinks may cause nerve pain in your mouth. You might have trouble chewing because the inner part of your tooth has more and more pressure on it. Your teeth could turn yellow because so much enamel wears away that you see the inner layer of your teeth. You might get cavities, which causes sensitivity, bleeding and even more tooth decay.
In this presentation we will discuss the irreversible effect of acid on Enamel dissolution known as EROSION. Types of acid in the mouth has gastric origin (refluxes, regurgitation), dietary origin (food and drinks), and environmental origin (chlorinated swimming pools, industrial).
The tannin in drinks such as coffee, tea, and coca cola gets stuck in your teeth and make stains. Tannin is a yellowish brown substance that is a type of acid. This acid will make your teeth change into a different color such as yellow or brown. Teeth stains occur more often when you are drinking black or dark colored drinks because the darkness of the drinks get embedded in your teeth. There are two types of teeth stains, extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic is when the outer layer of the tooth stains and intrinsic when the inner structure of the tooth turns a faint yellow.
Your teeth are made up of many parts, each with a unique function, that are actually alive, such as dentin and pulp. Let’s go
Mouthwash may be causing some of your teeth discoloration. All of the alcohol and excess chemicals that are present in mouthwash cause yellowish stains, because they remove the enamel on your teeth that keeps them white. Check with your dentist, though, to be sure that you have healthy enough teeth to skip mouthwash.
Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in your body. It helps us tear apart flesh and bone when we eat. This does not mean, however, that you should pry open metal cans or bottle caps with your teeth.
The data also reviled that when teeth are placed in coffee they eat away teeth till bacteria and other substances start to grow on the teeth (appendix 6). Lemon juice acted as suspected and eroded the teeth to the point where all the old enamel was eroded away to a white layer with gum showing through parts of the crown (bag 2), water was used as saliva for a control there was little or no erosion on the teeth but they did yellow (bag 3). All the teeth saw a significant increase of erosion when they were placed in the liquids for the first day (appendix 9). The teeth all changed color from the teeth before they were placed inside the cups. All the teeth changed size a little except the water witch only where given a one-gram change over
Alcohol is one of the most dangerous elements related to oral cancer. Studies have proven the relation among poor oral wellbeing and drinking. Though, low oral health is more connected to the abuser’s lifestyle and disregard of their oral wellbeing than the alcohol’s effect on the oral tissue. Moreover, alcoholic drinks such as wine have a low pH value, this acidity results in frequent erosions to the drinker’s teeth. Studies that relate teeth count to alcohol consumption are few, contradictory, and very inconclusive. While some have shown that drinking alcoholic beverages is the reason of having fewer teeth, others have concluded that drinking alcohol decreases the ratio of teeth loss, while others have proven that no correlation
According to the ADA, deserts such as cakes and pies will add almost 13 percent of sugar to your diet. Cake is full of sugar and carbohydrates that quickly turn into acid in the mouth. In fact, cherry and blueberry pie are the worst culprits for staining teeth. Don’t forget that innocent looking crackers are just processed carbs that easily get stuck between the teeth.
Leading a completely healthy lifestyle can be now treated as one of the best ways that can prevent your teeth getting stained. You should stop taking cigarettes, alcohol, excessive tea or coffee and other harmful elements that can make your teeth stained. In fact, this is a strict instruction directly from the mouth of dental experts.
Generally, your dental hygiene becomes weakened when you lack the minerals that are needed. The higher the acidic level is within your consumption can be very brutal, it can make your teeth enamel softer and weaken your teeth strength. You end up lacking calcium which is supposed to make your bones stay strong. Soft drinks have the highest sugar and acid, yet lower the pH level compared to water. “It takes 32 glasses of water to neutralize a glass of cola” (Radomski, 40). Citric acid in cola makes a weakness of dental, changing the neutralization of saliva and destroys enamel surface as Ph.D. Manny explained the article Soft drinks and dental erosion, “Citric acid is the predominant acid in non- cola drinks and is especially erosive to teeth because it chelates calcium effectively” (Radomski, 41). If a kid drinks a can of soda every day, his enamel will be declining, stained teeth and cavities and plaque will start to build their teeth. Children’s teeth are new and weak, they must learn to take care of their teeth while they are young. Drinking a lot of soft drinks is a bad habit that most children have a hard time controlling.
