Previous scientific research findings have helped to warn consumers that the pH (potential of hydrogen) levels in beverages such as soda could lead to tooth erosion, the breakdown of tooth structure caused by the effect of acid on the teeth that leads to decay. However, the pH level of soft drinks isn't the only factor that causes dental erosion. A beverage's "buffering capacity," or the ability to neutralize acid, plays a significant role in the cause of dental erosion. Popular energy drinks also

the root, with more in depth parts within the main layers. The tooth starts at the top with the Crown. The Crown, which is the only visible part of the tooth, contains the enamel, the protective layer of the tooth, and the connective tissue called dentin, which sits between the neck and crown while giving the tooth shape and hardness.

Basic Information of Fluorine Fluorine is from Latin ‘fluee’ meaning flow. It was discovered in 1886 by Henri Moissan. The melting point of fluorine is -219.6 ℃ and the boiling point of fluorine is -188 ℃, fluorine is in group 7, and is also known as a halogen. It is reactive with most elements. The uses of fluorine include, Rocket fuel, Frosted glass, uranium hexafluoride for nuclear power, Cable insulation, Rain boots, clothes, and refrigerator. The effect of fluorine on the human body include

Lacquer is the most mineralized tissue of the body, framing a hard, thin, translucent layer of calcified tissue that covers the whole anatomic crown of the tooth. It can shift in thickness and hardness on every tooth, from tooth to tooth and from individual to individual. It can likewise fluctuate in shading (ordinarily from yellowish to grayish white) contingent upon varieties in the thickness, nature of its mineral structure and surface stains. Lacquer has no blood or nerve supply inside of it

but also lowers one’s quality of life, a field receiving increasing attention in the healthcare community. Dental caries is an infectious disease characterized by bacterially induced decay of the tooth that damages tooth enamel, dental pulp, and dentin. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), 50% of Americans experience tooth decay

Tooth discoloration is extrinsic or intrinsic i.e. may be restricted to the outer layer (enamel) or may involve the deeper layer (dentin) of the tooth.
