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. |

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. |
