Have you ever wondered, “What are my drinks doing to my teeth?” Well, you will find out through our experiment. This means taking teeth and putting each one in a liquid and observing them over a period of time. What we did was we took six teeth and put them in six different sugary liquids. The effects will be big. This won’t happen to you if you don’t brush your teeth.
We did our report on the effects of tooth decay from sugary drinks. Our question was, “If we put six teeth in six different liquids which will affect the tooth the most?” To form a hypothesis, we needed background knowledge about our topic. After research, we found out that the two things that mostly cause tooth decay from drinks are the amount of sugar and the acidity level. We used this information to make a hypothesis that the tooth in the blueberry syrup would be affected the most because it had so much sugar in it. ( i will continue this paragraph later)
The liquids that we used were blueberry syrup juice, diet coke, mineral water, lemon gatorade, apple juice, and orange juice. We measured each liquid to 20 ml. Alma brought the blueberry syrup juice and the mineral water in clear containers. She chose this because the

For our project, we needed a creative title to make people interested in our topic. In the the end, we had come up with “When Pearl White Goes Bad”. Our information also had to be put on the board so we made a bar graph on the amount of sugar each drink had in 20 m. Then, we made a table on the acidity of each drink. We also had to present our pictures and observations in an organized way on the board. Before we could start writing our information on the board, we couldn’t find it. Someone or something had taken our board so we had to think of something fast. An (the next week) bought a board to school on Tuesday so Alma could put it in our science teacher’s

3. Add on of the following volumes of distilled water to the test tube, as assigned by your teacher: 10.0mL, 15.0mL, 20.0mL, 25.0mL, 30.0mL. (If you use a graduated cylinder, remember to read the volume from the bottom of the water meniscus. You can make more a more accurate volume measurement using either a pipette or a burette.)
If bacteria is not monitored at all, many different disease such as gingivitis and periodontitis can occur (2). The Lab Manual also stated that bacteria can enter through the oral cavity, get into the bloodstream, and can cause endocarditis in the heart tissue. Given all these possible horrible scenarios, every effort made towards lowering the amount of bacteria in our oral cavity has potential to save lives. Our research will consist of trying to answer an important question, “What substances could help prevent bacteria (pathogen) buildup in the oral cavity”. The first thinking that we had behind this came from those gum commercials you see on T.V. that say “kills bad breath and bacteria”. Well we were curious as to what chemical compound found inside gum has the capability to kill bacteria. It turns out that one of the key factors for the bacteria killing effect found in chewing gum, is known as Xylitol. Xylitol is a naturally occurring alcohol and is used as a “sugar free” substitute in many chewing gum brands
We assembled the Electrolyte Challenge Kit. Some things we did to assemble the kit were, connect two wires to the multi-meter, attach alligator clips to each other, and we also wrapped copper wire around a straw. The Electrolyte Challenge Kit has the job of determining how many amps of energy are in each drink. We later used this information in the formula, E= A ÷ V or Electrolytes Equal Amps Divided by Volts, to determine how many electrolytes are in each drink. We discovered that the natural juice has the most electrolytes and the water has the least
Seventy percent of the US population now receives fluoridated drinking water, an industrial grade level chemical most commonly associated with the prevention of tooth decay, and in Virginia especially, 95.7% of all public water is fluoridated (CDC). I present this numbers to your concern because for something that is almost in all public drinking water, it is not informed to the average Virginia citizen, but that is not the primary issue I am addressing you for. My main matter of concern is that more recent studies performed by scientist in the US and abroad are now finally advocating decade old cautions back then just acknowledged as unsubstantial research or even myths on how rather potentially hazardous the fluoridation of water is for
one gram of water by 1ºC. I chose to use water because it is safe,
For my 6th grade science fair project I chose to find out which drink is better for you and which drink improves performance more, Gatorade or Powerade. I chose this topic because I am an athlete, and it would be nice to know which drink is healthier, along with which drink replenishes better. My group members and myself formed hypotheses to answer these questions. I hypothesized Powerade would be healthier because it has vitamins B-3, B-6, and B-12, while I thought Gatorade would improve performance more because it has more electrolytes, sodium, and potassium. We tested our hypotheses by doing research online and performing experiments.
Brushing your teeth twice a day only cleans twenty-five percent of the mouth at a time. It is for this reason why dentist recommend a healthy fluoride solution to be included into your daily brushing routine; this mouthwash solution will help flush away any food remnants and harmful bacteria from the hard to reach crevasses in the mouth. If this step is skipped it can lead to the formation of dental caries and gum disease, which can lead to worse things if they are not taken care of. To help stress the importance of dental hygiene, Listerine, which is a mouth wash company, released an advertisement for their cool mint flavored antiseptic mouthwash in the hopes of getting non-mouthwash users to jump on the Listerine mouthwash band wagon to proper

I stared at the blinking cursor, unbelieving at what I had just done. I was indeed done; done with a paper I agonized over for 6 hours. The paper was due in a scant 4 hours and I had all week to do it. The radio had stopped working because my brother got on the Internet and thus cut off my connection. That was the least of my problems working on this paper. I got it done, though. My life changed with one trip of a teacher to the chalkboard and one phrase, narrative essay. God, I hate narrative essays.
Normal water will not do because of the impurities in it. · Methyl Orange indicator - The colour of this indicates when the sodium hydroxide has been neutralised by the hydrochloric acid. · Conical Flask - This is used to react the aspirin tablets with the sodium hydroxide. It is more appropriate to use as the shape of it makes it less likely that any should spill out. · Burette - This is used to add the hydrochloric acid to the sodium hydroxide.
Fear set in as I came to the realization that my board wouldn't be as luminescent or impressive as Jamie’s, Morgan’s, or Darcy’s. The day of presentation felt like the most stressful hours of my adolescent life. We were called on, one by one, in alphabetical order. Having the last name Valentine was usually useful in situations like this as I would be the last one called. Jamie, Morgan, and Darcy all presented before me as I became more insecure about my deformed and stolen board.
My hypothesis is that orange juice would be better then Gatorade, because I believe that it would hold more electrolytes. Some material that I will need to figure this out is Digital multimeter, Alligator clip leads,
In order to combat the need for dental education the Faculty of educational Science, proposed games. Computer games are a great way to attract the youth. In today’s society , technology is a huge factor. So , why not use it the wave of technology to everyone’s advantage. The dentist office have switched to technology also being that they do not use much paper anymore everything is done first hand. In brief, the faculty of Educational Science , created a three games. The first game was a variation of Pac-Man . The Pac-Man must eat the candy . after eating the candy the Pac-Man must avoid bacteria. The bacteria eventually leads to the tooth becoming dirty because of eating the sweets. In order to avoid losing the tooth due to bacteria the tooth must get to the toothbrush in the middle of the maze ( Klaus ) The game depicts real life experience therefore it is important because it allows children to see the effects of too many sweets and not being able to avoid bacteria in order to avoid bacteria you must brush your teeth well. The second game is a tooth loss stimulation each player has to answer a series of questions. The series of questions answered allows the game to predict future tooth loss (Klaus). Although, everyone will eventually lose teeth the game's purpose is for kids to try to keep teeth for as long as possible. With this being said , players are able
