2CH have been busy investigating dental hygiene. We recently had a visit from a dental nurse who taught us how to brush our teeth properly and why it is so important to look after our teeth. We decided to investigate what liquids would be best for our teeth. We used eggs to represent our teeth as the shells are similar to the enamel on our teeth. We left the eggs in different liquids for 7 days. We took the eggs out of the liquids today and were shocked to see how orange juice, cola and blackcurrant squash had damaged the shells. We concluded that milk and water are best for our teeth. We decided that is it ok to have some sugary drinks in moderation but we must brush our teeth!
