Acidic beverages are another problem for tooth enamel because the acid can actually wear the enamel away and temporarily softens the enamel; thus, making teeth even more prone to staining. Bright Color Beverages Can Stain the Teeth The color in beverages comes from intensely pigmented molecules that are referred to as…

He concluded that the high levels of fluoride in the towns water supply were preventing tooth decay. These findings were corroborated further when Dr. H. Trendley Dean conducted fluoride research that showed tooth decay was less prevalent in communities who had naturally fluorinated water. From this study, it was found that a range of .7 to 1.2 ppm of fluoride levels in drinking water could safely treat tooth decay. Water fluoridation is a public health initiative implemented not only in America…

always this well-regulated. In the year 1992 (in Hooper Bay, Alaska), a man died of acute fluoride poisoning due to a malfunction in the community’s water well. “Fluoride at levels 40 times what the federal government considers safe for deterring tooth decay were measured in drinking water, and epidemiologists later concluded that it was probably the most widespread fluoride poisoning ever documented, with more than 200 people estimated to have been stricken” (Hulen, 1992). It is no surprise…

Dental erosion is the wearing down of tooth enamel by acids. Different types of beverages cause dental erosion (Olde, 2015). By measuring the mass of egg shells before and after they are exposed to these common beverages will determine which beverages contribute the most towards dental erosion and tooth decay. The purpose of using egg shells is because they are made of calcium the same element that the human tooth is made of (Goldblatt, Samberson, Diamond, 2013). To test the effects of common…

Moreover, documenting the caries experience for children aged 5 years old reflect the importance of the interpretation of such experience in the children with all 20 deciduous teeth. As from the age of 6, deciduous teeth are shed and replaced with permanent teeth so the number of deciduous teeth declines. All of which will result in decreasing the caries experiences for older children due to the reduction in the absolute number of teeth with caries experience 84. The distribution of caries…
