    Pete conducted an experiment to determine which of his favorite drinks - coffee, Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper, orange juice, or Budweiser - caused the worst staining on artificial teeth (eggshells). He predicted that coffee would be the worst, followed by Dr. Pepper and Coke, with orange juice and Budweiser staining the least. The results showed that Coke and Dr. Pepper caused the darkest stains, followed by coffee, orange juice, and little to no staining from Budweiser. Pete concluded that darker liquids generally cause darker stains and recommends brushing after consuming acidic, sugary drinks to prevent enamel damage.

    Weak

    Enamel
    Epidemic!
    Pete Penksa
    Which of my
    Favorite Drinks
    are Staining My
    Teeth the Worst? Coffee w/ Sugar and Cream

    Coca-Cola

    Dr. Pepper

    Orange Juice

    Budweiser
    Hypothesis

    • The order I predict for


    staining is as follows:
    • I predict Coffee will make
    the worst stains, then Dr.
    Pepper, Coke, Orange
    Juice, and Budweiser will
    stain the least.
    Five White
    Five Cups Coffee Coca-Cola
    Eggs
    Materials: Orange
    Dr. Pepper Budweiser
    Juice
    Procedure
    1. Pour your 5 favorite drinks into separate cups.
    2. Place eggs in the beverages for eighteen hours. Or
    let them sit for however long you usually take in
    between brushes.
    a. Eggshells are white and they are made of calcium, like
    our teeth.
    3. Take your “fake teeth” out of the liquid (just like
    grandpa!) and compare them to see which has the
    worst staining.
    Results/Data
    • Coke

    • Dr. Pepper

    • Coffee

    • Orange Juice

    • Budweiser
    Me & my
    babies!
    Conclusion
    • My girlfriend and roommate both predicted that Coke would stain the worst, and
    they were right.
    • Dr. Pepper had very similar staining patterns to Coke, just not quite as dark.
    Staining patterns made them look like Jupiter!
    • I predicted coffee to be the worst, but I was able to rub a
    decent amount of staining off with my finger (unlike the soda
    stains, which didn’t budge).
    • Orange Juice left the egg white, but it made somewhat translucent spots (like the
    ones shown on the teeth on slide 1). Somewhat clear teeth are better than brown
    teeth if you ask me…
    • The Budweiser had little to no effect on the egg, as predicted.
    Conclusion &
    Further Questions
    • I have concluded the darker the liquid, the darker the
    staining.
    • We know acids are what cause staining and weak tooth
    enamel, but what effect does sugar content have?
    • How much effect does acid have on staining compared to the
    drink’s color?
    • If we left the eggs in longer, would the stain rankings stay the
    same?

    Recommendation: Brush your teeth after dark, sugary, acidic


    drinks! Ask your dentist for prescription-strength toothpaste for
    sensitive teeth prevention! According to my dentist, this is
    becoming a serious issue in America. Even water bottles contain
    damaging acids to your teeth now!
