My project will be on "Which drink stains teeth the most?" I chose to do my project on this
because I wanted to know which drinks that people drink daily were bad for our teeth. I want
to know was it dark drinks or sugary drinks. When I did my research, I found that most dark
colored I typed in my questions. I found that the particles from most dark sugary drinks can
cause damage to our teeth if it is left on them. I chose Coke, Tea, Coffee, and Grape juice as
my drinks I wanted to test. I hypothesized that Coke will stain teeth most, because not only is
darker in color but it contained more sugar than the other drinks. While researching, I saw
others had tested these same drinks with other different drinks and

I didn't boil the egg because I wanted to keep the shell fragile like our teeth. I then filled four bowls with 1 cup of each drink. I then put the egg shell in the bowl and covered it so the shell was covered with the drink. I came up with 48 hours total for the eggshell to sit in the drink, because I estimated a person drinking 1-2 cups of drink a day for a month. So, I let the eggshells sit for 24 hours first. When I checked them, the Grape Juice and Coke were tied for first place in staining. Second was the Coffee, and Third was the Tea. I put each eggshell back in the same bowl and waited another 24 hours . This time when I took them out, The Grape Juice was first, Coke was second, Coffee was third, and Tea was fourth. I then took a toothbrush with Colgate whitening toothpaste and brushed each egg shell. I then rinsed them with clear water and let them dry. After they dried, I compared them to a teeth staining chart I found online. The Coffee eggshell was stained the most, Coke was second, Grape Juice was third with scattered staining, and Tea was fourth with almost no staining. I chose to brush the shells because while researching, it said you shouldn't brush your teeth after drinking drinks like this because this is when it damage 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)
Four solutions were tested an out of the four only one had a color change, meaning that it had alcohol present. This solution was methanol and of course it would produce a color change because methanol is an alcohol. One solution that should have changed color was solution 4, the base-hydrolyzed aspartame, but it did not produce a color change when aqueous ceric ammonium nitrate reagent. Water and fresh aqueous aspartame are not going to produce a color change because there is no alcohol group in there structure.
Everyone has teeth, and society likes them to be as white as possible. But does everyone know the parts of the tooth? The tooth has four parts: dental pulp, dentin, enamel, and cementumcentenum. Dental pulp is the center part of the tooth and is made of tissue and nerves. Dentin is connected to the dental pulp and is the second hardest part of the tooth. Enamel is the hard, outer layer that surrounds the tooth. Enamel cannot be repaired or replaced. One can only prevent its loss, which is why we brush our teeth so often to help eliminate the plaque and acids that certain sodas and other sugary drinks try so hard to remove. Without enamel, teeth would erode within days of their coming in. And last but not least, cementumcentenum. CementumCentenum covers the root of the tooth and it anchors the root to the skin.
If not treated right away after eating snacks and drinks that are high in sugar, it can cause you to have a mixture of acids that build up inside the mouth that attacks tooth enamel and the second layer of the tooth named Dentin, and third layer Pulp. Enamel is the outer layer of the tooth. It is the hardest tissue of the human body. Dentin is harder than bone but softer than Enamel. It has apatite crystals of calcium and phosphate. Pulp is underneath the enamel and dentin. It carries blood vessels, connective tissue, and large nerves. Which can and will in fact cause tooth loss if all layers are attacked and
That teeth will rot faster in Coke than milk or water. That there will be a slight difference between milk and water substances on decay levels.
In 2007, 40,000L of soft drink was drunk between 400 people which doesn’t include other sugary products ingested throughout the year. Enormous amounts of premature deaths occurred, diseases related to sugar intake spiked and obesity in Amata was at an all-time high.

Soda is high in calories. A 20 ounce can of Coca Cola contains 17 teaspoons of sugar and 240 calories…empty calories devoid of any nutritional value. It would take the average adult over one hour of walking to burn off the 240 calories in a 20-ounce soda.Soda increases obesity risk in children. Each additional soda or other sugary drink consumed per day increases the likelihood of a child becoming obese by about 60%. Sugary drinks are connected to other health problems as well.Soda contains artificial sweeteners. While many people opt for artificial sugar to lower caloric intake the tradeoff for your health isn’t so sweet. Artificial sugars are linked to numerous illness and diseases including
beverages may play a role in the epidemic of obesity." American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
Manufacturers of mouthwashes say that their products kill bacteria and clinics have been recommending the use of mouthwash for decades and is said to significantly improve gingival health [1] . I am very interested in these claims stating how effective mouthwashes are and I would like to find out the importance of the products in our daily lives demonstrated in my experiment. Mouthwashes play a very important role in preventing plaque formation and also it reduces cavities and a gum disease known as periodontal disease. Periodontal disease makes the teeth detach from the gums as a result of an inflammatory response to plaque, but not only does this disease affect the teeth only, it also has other symptoms such as being a risk factor for having
While tea is often considered to be coffee’s gentler cousin, but when teeth are involved this may not be the case. Some black teas may actually stain teeth more than coffee. Similar to red wine, black teas tend to have a very high tannin content, which contributes to teeth staining. Therefore, teas with a lesser tannin content, such as green, white, and herbal tea, are much less likely to stain teeth. Herbal tea, on the other hand, still was found to erode
The materials used within this experiment were chosen to reflect and enlighten a problem with moderation and its lack of tooth care this caused a demand for mostly household items for this experiment, of course teeth cannot be found within a house unless you own or have connections with a dentist or another type of tooth founding company. To get teeth for this experiment talk to your dentist or other tooth care enthusiast. The materials consist of nine sets of molars or k9 teeth in decent condition, three cups that won’t affect teeth if in constant contact, regular tap water, regular sized Starbucks coffee, store bought lemon juice, a gunpowder measuring rig or another type of accurate scale that uses grams, plastic forks, and paper and pencil to
CAUSES OF TOOTH STAINS Extrinsic stains Plaque Calculus (tartar) Bacteria Smoking Tobacco and tobacco products Betel nut (supari) Mouthwashes, e.g. chlorhexidine, Beverages (tea, coffee, red wine, cola) Foods (curry, cooking oils and fried foods, foods with colorings, berries, beetroot) Dietary precipitate Antibiotics (erythromycin, amoxicillins)
Soda or soft drinks are drinks that contain carbonated water and artificial flavors. There are different soda flavors such as lemon, orange, grapes or cola. They have been developing over the past years from soda water to soda drinks with all these unique flavors. Making sweetener for soda has to have a very large amount of sugar. Some people drink soda every day with every meal, so that means they drink more sugar than their body needs. The sugar in soda is making our body flexible to gain more weight and become fat. Obesity is the main reason for getting diseases, but sugar is the main reason for obesity. Rachele Kanigel believes, “Soda raise diabetes risk and rob bones. They are wrecking our teeth and they are making us fat” (160). Soda has bad effects more than cigarettes because they are everywhere and for everyone. However, if you are under eighteen years old, you cannot buy a pack of cigarettes. Nevertheless, soda is very cheap in price and can be in any vending machine at schools or gas stations. Sodas have been super-sized over the past years from a small can for one person to a bigger size for a family, so they have a very faithful history. Sodas are the main reason for a lot of diseases that have emerged these days and the most important is obesity. Now days, the soda drink industry invested in diet soda to cover or to have a better effect in our body than normal soda. Diet sodas have less sugar percentage, so they are healthier technically but still have side effects on teeth and bones. Samantha B. Cassetty writes, “Daily diet-soda drinkers had a significantly higher risk of heart attacks and strokes than nondrinkers” (46). We satisfy ourselves without thinking, so the soda industry can get more income telling about th...
