Marie+A14

 Marie A  2013-2014  The purpose of this experiment was to see what brand of toothpaste prevented the most tooth decay. Acid causes tooth decay and an easy way to fix that is by using tooth paste. Eggs were covered in toothpaste and soaked in Mountain Dew. Sensodyne was the toothpaste that helped the most against tooth decay, egg decayed 0.14 g, and no toothpaste helped the least, egg decayed 4.1 g. It was determined that higher amounts of fluoride can help fight tooth decay.
 * THE STUDY OF TOOTHPASTE AND TOOTH DECAY **
 * ABSTRACT **

To improve the experiments, a new bottle of Mountain Dew can be used because after a while soda will lose its carbonation. Also, instead of using different brands of eggs for each of the experiments; using the same brand of eggs could be more exact. Future experiments that could be interesting could be non- diet sodas vs. diet sodas. Another fun experiment could be the type of tooth and which is more prone to tooth decay.
