Introduction
Do you know why
sugar rots your teeth? The truth is that it is not
actually the sugar that rots your teeth. It is the
plaque and sugar combination that does the dirty deed.
Plaque is a collection of bacteria that adheres to your
teeth and gets its energy by breaking down the sugars
you eat. During sugar breakdown, many products are
formed, one of which is lactic acid which decreases the
pH in your mouth. In an acidic environment, the hard
enamel that protects your teeth dissolves, which leaves
your teeth vulnerable to decay and cavities. That is why
in this project we will investigate the pH of the mouth
in animals and humans at different times of the day. |

description
You will need to test the pH of the mouth of different human and
animals and record the results. Your results will later be used
for analysis and conclusion. |
