Toothpaste Lab Report
Abstract:
The purpose of this experiment was to determine if natural solutions or chemical solutions can protect the teeth from sugar better. If natural solutions did not lack the strength to effectively protect the teeth, then they would be of higher use, as they have less disadvantages, and more advantages. It was hypothesized, that when comparing natural and chemical, the chemical solutions will work better than the natural remedies, as the chemicals are more focused on protecting the teeth (in this case egg shells) from sugar (in this case cranberry juice). To test the hypothesis, eggs were kept in either a natural or chemical solution for 12 hours and then cranberry juice for 24 hours to see if the solution can protect the egg effectively. …show more content…
In 1914, it was discovered that fluoride notably decreased dental cavities, and was added to toothpaste. Yet, chemicals that exist in toothpaste have their disadvantages, and till now, 201 communities around the world have refused to use fluoride and fluoridation of water. If natural solutions protect the teeth as much as chemicals do, then natural remedies will be of higher use, as they have very less to no disadvantages when used.
Conditions like dental plaque, cavities, gum disease, and enamel damage are avoided through the use of toothpaste and in rural areas, many different natural remedies, with various ingredients. The collection of these ingredients, chemicals or natural, together, affect how the teeth will react to possible damage or …show more content…
Salt and chalk were rubbed across teeth. The Chinese chewed on twigs to freshen their breath. Nevertheless, chemicals like fluoride, xylitol, calcium carbonate, and chlorhexidine are proven to work stronger in the act of protecting teeth. This experiment will look at whether the eggshells (which acts as teeth) are more damaged by the natural solutions or chemical solutions, and which one of the solutions will protect the “teeth” more. When comparing natural and chemical, the chemical solutions will work better than the natural remedies, as the chemicals are more focused on protecting the teeth (in this case egg shells) from sugar (in this case cranberry juice).
This experiment should allow researchers to improve the use of chemicals in toothpaste, and lessen the disadvantages of the chemicals. Also, if natural solutions are found to protect the teeth better, then this experiment should allow researchers to determine if natural remedies are powerful enough to protect the teeth, as much as chemical remedies can. If natural remedies are found to be as strong and focused as chemical solutions, then researchers can begin to look into how the components of natural remedies can be focused on protecting teeth, and whether or not the use of natural remedies have their
