Fluoride

As a parent, we are told from the first sign of pregnancy on what to do, when to do it, how to do it. A woman is not allowed to have lunch meat, or alcohol during pregnancy. When the baby is born, we as parents are told what immunizations a baby needs, and how many times. We are even told how to feed the baby, breastfeeding is pushed and formula is frowned upon. When a parent chooses formula, we are told what kind, how often to feed the Baby. Even the pediatricians that we take our children to…

Rationale I decided to turn this lesson into a flipped lesson as the topic on ionic bonding is something very microscopic and I feel it would help students to develop a more concrete understanding of an abstract topic. By recording the lecture which includes a step-by-step guide on drawing a dot-and-cross diagram, the weaker ones will be able to study at their pace and choose to pause or rewind should they not understand. This helps them to understand the concepts better, as opposed to going…

prevent the development of tartar and plaque. That is why routine checkups and cleanings are so vital to maintaining their oral health. Their dentist will not only clean their teeth, but will also check for problems such as speech issues and cavities. Fluoride treatments might also be part of these…

Reagents 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) (Sigma-Aldrich), 2,4 dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) (Sigma-Aldrich), ferric sulfate (nH2O) (Carlo Erba), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) (Carlo Erba), acetonitrile (Sigma-Aldrich) and Milli-Q water were used to perform all the experiments . All the reagents were used without further purification. Natural groundwater samples Samples were taken from groundwater wells localized in a small rural community (coordinates: 3º21’03.38” N, 76º26’24.51”) near to the…

These essential parts of the body are small, pointy, round, and help chew food. What are they? Teeth! Teeth come in many shapes, many sizes, and unfortunately, many colors. Each tooth has its own function, as well as its own important structure. Teeth cannot be unattended to though. They must be cared for properly in order to maintain their appearance and health. Teeth are made up of many different substances and parts. Understanding these things makes caring for teeth much easier.…

An estuary is a body of water in which fresh water from streams and rivers flows into seawater-containing oceans (Estuaries, 2008). The mixture of both seawater and fresh water is termed brackish water (Estuaries, 2008). Salinity depends on the exact location of an estuary, as the salt concentration is nonexistent in the fresh water end compared to the sea water end. The normal levels of salinity are between 0.5 to 35 ppt (Estuaries, 2008). Based on the central location of the fish kill site…

One of the main focal points in today’s society is outward beauty, which consists of hair, makeup and most importantly a white smile. In order to achieve a pearly white smile, Americans pay 1.4 billion dollars a year on non-prescription whitening products (Barlow, 2012). Most people believe that oral hygiene products were just recently invented, but historians say that Egyptians were the first people group to create a toothpaste (1teethwhitening, 2010). In early history, people would cut off…

maneuvering it to be sold? There are far too many areas in this process that require energy that the only way to cover it all is to go though it step by step, so let’s get started. The first and more popular ingredient of the actual paste is fluoride. Fluoride is a naturally occurring element and can be found in sediment often nearby fresh water. The tools and machinery that are used to locate it ‘extract’ it and then transport it to the factory is just the beginning. Another major ingredient…

Single Replacement Reactions and Double Replacement Reactions A chemical reaction is a process that involves rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance, as opposed to a change in physical form or a nuclear reaction. The evolution of energy as heat and light, production of gas, formation of a precipitate, and color change are 4 indicators of a chemical reaction. Two out of the six types of reactions are the single and the double replacement reactions. During single…
